Wow, UG knows a clever word for 'half-assed'. 6 years ago the Republicans were given the keys to the country. A significant minority of them have proceeded to drive it off of the cliff, and only a few have the moral decency to protest. Any attempt by non-Republicans to point this out is immediately shouted down with cries of 'partisanship'.
There are arguably worse places to be subjected to this type of dismal leadership. A back trail in a jungle in Vietnam or an alley in Iraq comes to mind. But at least there you have the company of fellow armed travellers and the satisfaction that if an officer does something truly stupid, he will probably be the first one they shoot at.
Unfortunately, Darwin's law works in reverse when it comes to politics and the people who are truly and dangerously incompetent are usually the least likely to be affected by it.
