And on the news front today I cannot let this one pass. Apparently the Prez has accused the previous President of bigly crimes. Will not say what, but menacingly intones "just you wait". For what? The sky to fall? News flash it has fallen, disintegrated and burst into flames on the lungs of the stricken. Who does this? 3rd grade bullies rushing to scare and threaten with little to back it up. Oh well nothing new to see here.
However the fun fact today is that Maestro McConnell, our illustrious senate majority leader and human version of the venerable turtle, has proclaimed Obama showed no class by making comments criticizing the handling of the coronavirus crisis. I am here to say Mr McyCo would not know class if he was struck in the mouth with a white gloved hand loaded with brass knuckles.
There are so many clichés that go with this. Pot calling the kettle black; takes one to know one; you smelt it, you dealt it; I'm rubber you're glue whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you. Or to get Shakespeare involved "much ado about nothing". Many have criticized, heck many are living it! The emperor is strikingly and pathetically naked.
Management 101: identify the problem, take responsibility, list the options, remain nimble in your solutions. Though in the "bizzaro" world we live in today a different lesson. Ignore or deny the problem, assign blame, fumble every possible option, create a bigger more destructive crisis. Meanwhile be sure to criticize the knowledgeable and promote destructive unhelpful behavior while thumbing your nose at science and, most important, claim success at every juncture.
At least we have everyone wearing a mask in the West Wing with one notable exception. Is it any wonder that people are confused?
