Some Mullings on Mullings
A couple of items from today's Mullings, by Rich Galen, GOP stalwart:
First, commenting on why governors are often elected president but senators seldom are, Galen notes:
One of the reasons Governors are elected President with such frequency is they have the skill set to manage complex systems - such as, in 2004, the world.
Oh, so the president of the United States is supposed to "manage . . . the world," eh? Funny, but I thought his job description was to execute the laws of the U.S., not run the world. You mean to tell me that the world's great champion of democracy governs the entire world based on the votes of only those in the U.S. who bother with the charade of voting? In 2004, unfortunately, Galen is right, but he doesn't recognize what a bad thing it is to be right in this instance.
Second, Galen "mulls" that Maureen Dowd wrote, in reference to John Kerry's failure to address the charges of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, "The Skipper would do well to get a swifter boat."
If Kerry is the Skipper, does that mean John Edwards is Gilligan?
