Be Thankful for Small Blessings

Sure, we're stuck with a guy who couldn't screw in a light-bulb without the assistance of a focus group, the support of the media and a gaggle of highly-paid political operators.

But - sheesh! - what if arch-creep John Edwards had managed to oil his way into the presidency? (H/T: Ace of Spades)

We did dodge a bullet with Edwards, that's true. That article only highlights how much more of a narcissist Edwards is, worse than Obama. The concept is mind boggling, but apparently true.

Alas, we dodged one, only to get hit with another, of a smaller caliber.

But what's truly depressing is how such people can climb to the top of the political pyramid.

That could be expensive. Wouldn't you need a Hazmat Czar to go along with that position? If you folded that Czar into the Office of the Lightbulb-Screwing Czar, what would you call him? You would need a separate focus group to choose between "sub-Czar" and "under-Czar". This would be a plus for the jobs created category, however.

You could stick them next to the Underwear Czar. That should shine a light on the terrorism briefings.
