Comment What It's Like (Score -1, Offtopic) 389
We here at Microsoft take pride in heart-warming stories such as the following:
One day a woman called Senator Paul Wellstone. She told him that other children teased her son. She said the children called her son "retard." She asked the Senator if he would agree to meet the boy.
The Senator told her yes. He said, "I know what it's like when people make fun of you."
After their visit, the woman sent the Senator a letter. She told what had happened afterward.
After the visit, the boy talked to the children who teased him. He told them, "I met with Senator Wellstone, and he has a learning disability, and he's the United States senator, and he's not stupid, and I'm not stupid."
The Senator keeps a picture of the boy on his desk. It is there to remind him "of why I just feel good about being here."
