The relentless pressure of centuries of party politics in the US has finally resulted in breeding a highly specialized strain of political animals.
Like a swaybacked dysplasiac GSD or a shivering teacup Chihuahua, they are perfectly adapted for winning a blue ribbon on election day and very little else.

Sadly true!
The same could be said for TV journalists.

Here's a question that needs to be asked of Hillary Clinton before her coronation.
"Mrs. Clinton, in light of the considerable foreign affairs... baggage you bring to this campaign... can you point to one special skill or a single accomplishment that makes you believe you are essential to the well being of this nation?
Anybody running for public office should be able to offer a simple, concise answer to the suitable variation of that question.
During the 2000 election, comedian Lewis Black joked "In my lifetime, we've gone from JFK to Albert Gore. In my lifetime, we've gone from Ike to George W. Bush. If this is evolution, in a few years we're going to be voting for PLANTS!"
Prophetic words.
AWESOME! Doubly so because of how true it is!
Totally ripped that off with attributions. Dead solid perfect.
Plants would be a vast improvement. It's the urge to _do something_ that leads to massive government f-ups.
She'd talk for ten minutes without actually answering it, the mouthbreathers would applaud her brilliance, and call you a sexist for disputing her statements.
