National Security... uh... something

One could make a very reasonable argument that the position of National Security Adviser is the second most important job in Washington. The person who holds that appointment is effectively the bridge between the State Department, the Defense Department and the President. As such, that person wields enormous power vis-a-vis the President's foreign policy -- probably more than any other single person. Which is why it scares the daylights out of me that Susan Rice is a blithering idiot.

Not just any ol' run-of-the-mill idiot, mind; she has refined idiocy and the inability to provide a coherent answer to simple questions right down to a science. I'm beginning to suspect she may actually be the single dumbest person in Washington D.C., which is saying quite a lot. Seriously, did they draw her name out of a fucking hat?

"Okay everybody, quiet down now! Time to draw another name. This one is for National Security Adviser... Yaaay! It's little Susie! Little Susie gets NSA! Everybody clap for Susie! Uh... where is Susie?"

"She's in the bathroom, trying to figure out how a zipper works."

"Oh. Well then... Oh look! Butterflies!"
