Ellsworth: A man of many priorities


The Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines "priority" as "the right to precede others in order, rank, privilege, etc." Typically, then, we think of a "priority" as one preceding all others. In cliche politician style, Ellsworth claims numerous issues are a "priority." And why not? When everything's a priority, everyone feels like their pet issue is getting special attention.
  • "My number one priority is ensuring the federal government lives up to its promises by providing the equipment, weapons, and training these soldiers need to complete their missions safely." - Ellsworth on March 27, 2007
  • "After the laughter had subsided, Ellsworth got serious. Dressed in an open-neck white button-down shirt and khaki pants, he said listening to constituents is his top priority." - C&P on February 21, 2007
  • "With his signature, Ellsworth pledged to make health system reform a priority..." - C&P on January 22, 2007
All of these priorities have our heads spinning.
