The Midas Touch 0
The latest on the s(pl)urge:
Brig. Gen. John F. Campbell, deputy commanding general of the 1st Cavalry Division, complained last week that Iraqi politicians appear out of touch with everyday citizens. “The ministers, they don’t get out,” he said. “They don’t know what the hell is going on on the ground.”
Dan Froomkin has more.
I have been amusing myself today, in between cooling towers, by trying to think of anything that the Current Federal Administration has touched that hasn’t turned to shit.
The economy?
The Federal budget? (Oh, yeah, there used to be a surplus, before it was given away to the rich. Remember?)
The justice system?
The tax code?
The War in Afghanistan?
The War in Iraq? (See the opening citation.)
It’s the Midas touch.
