In theory, yes. They have the mechanical dexterity to type.

In practice, we haven't seen any textev that Treecats have shown any understanding of how two-legs communicate without mouth-sounds or sign-language.

Stop it. There is no such thing. We can suspend our belief in the laws of physics without much difficulty when reading the Honorverse books, but "Honest Politicians"? That's just trying to stretch credibility too far. You might have an honest representative, or even an honest government, but anything that calls itself a politician as a title is by definitian not honest.

Not quite true. You have to allow for the paradigm shift. Politician is currently synonymous with dishonesty. Politicians have been dishonest for so long that dishonesty is accepted as the norm. Dishonesty is expected of them. Therefore, when a politician acts dishonestly, he is actually being honest to form. Above all be true to thyself.

There is no longer a such thing as a dishonest politician.

Paradigms do not shift whole one from the other they evolve in a social dimension. The Kuhnian manner only refers to hard Science, although even Kuhn agreed later on that gradual evolution even applied in some circumstance. Niels Bohr's model on molecular structure being a fine example of the chemical evolution and shift that is held over rather than fully replaced. Evolution not revolution.

I thought that the definition of an honest politician was that once you bought him, he stayed bought, whereas a dishonest politician wouldn't stay bought.

Jedi Master.

Visualize the duel between Yoda and Count Dooku. Substitute treecat. (Lightsaber superfluous.)

I would hope that SOMEtime in the next 2,000 years SOMEbody might have the sense to abandon the "war on (some) drugs", and, if not, any Treecat would immediately grasp the idiotic futility of it and walk away wondering if two-legs are intelligent after all.
