Stupid, Incompetent and Ineffective? The Democrats Have A Job For You!

Enlighten-New Jersey tries to remain focused on Garden State issues and our own politicians, but the following quote from Senator Joe Biden caught our attention. The quote concerns John Bolton, recently nominated by President Bush as Ambassador to the U.N.

We got to thinking perhaps Biden’s frank appraisal of John Bolton provides us all with a unique window into the thought process of Democrats. It also might explain a certain preference Democrats seem to have when selecting people for “public service”.

Four years ago during Bolton’s confirmation hearing for Undersecretary of State, Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) had this to say to the nominee:

"My problem with you over the years is that you've been too competent. I would rather you be stupid and not very effective."

We had a sneaking suspicion Democrats preferred stupid, incompetent and ineffective “public servants” and now we know that at least one prominent Democrat has been truthful enough to admit it. Explains a lot doesn’t it? We also have the gnawing feeling Democrats would prefer a voting public that fits the same description.
