Here's a lovely piece of political crank-salad courtesy former George W Bush campaign manager, disaster-pimp director of FEMA, and Hurricane Katrina carpetbagger Joe Allbaugh, via an umprompted email to Politico:
No discipline. Both sides whine, way too much. I personally honor and cherish national leaders who have been tested by fire. How many in government today or campaigns have even run a business? Or know what is required to make a payroll every two weeks? The desire to lead is wavering...We asked for globalization. Well, we got it. Our friends are not sure that they can count on us anymore. Our leader is more pomp than circumstance. Again, no leadership. Hell, I could do better than he is doing. All hat, no cattle.
Putting aside the role George W Bush's campaigns had in bringing us modern political rhetoric via @KarlRove. What does running a business have to do with being tested by fire? What does making payroll have to do with the "desire to lead?" Did George Bush do either at the Texas Rangers? What's that part about globalization again? And what is Allbaugh doing in this entire rant if not the exact whining he's ranting against?
By the way, where was Allbaugh last seen? Improving the level of discourse of our politics, natch. Thanks for chiming in, buddy.
