As if I told an engineer to "put something there that holds the rest of this doohickey up."<BR/>And if they're that clueless it'll be fun to watch them get smaller and smaller until they disappear completely.Mike Di Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869308719792840542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20348408.post-35047883923150437952009-03-27T02:46:00.000-05:002009-03-27T02:46:00.000-05:00Excellent ideas, darlin', but way too concrete for...Excellent ideas, darlin', but way too concrete for Boehner and Cantor. <BR/><BR/>I used to get paid to create presentations for a Fortune 100 company (in the energy field, no less) and in my capacity as Queen of Power Point I composed many a cheesy document much like the Road to Recovery. My boss (a Republican of the Gingrich School) thought he was paying me a sincere compliment when he told a group of company executives, "Jane is my best writer. She can give me a 30-minute speech that doesn't actually say anything."<BR/><BR/>These are probably the instructions Cantor gave his writer this morning: "I need a comment on why I went to see Britney Spears last night. But don't actually admit I was there." <BR/><BR/>A car wash is useful. An encyclopedia might actually help someone. That's not the Republican way.Jukesgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002817558329662567noreply@blogger.com
