Honestly I do have to share your sentiments and also laugh, but this is where we're at. Politics has devolved to the point where it's more slogans and a celebrity standoff than an actual measure of competence and skill. As I've said before, at it's core democracy is a popularity contest and now increasingly that's how voters see it. Whether we like it or not, US politics has become a high stakes version of The Apprentice or American Idol.
Recced not because I agree but because it made me laugh...
