| h/t Gates of Vienna Let us put aside, as he so rarely does, Anthony Weiner's spambot penis, and consider his wife and putative first lady. By universal consent, Huma Abedin is "smart, accomplished" (the Guardian), "whip-smart" (The Week), "accomplished" (Time), "smart and accomplished" (the Daily News) -- oh, and did I mention "accomplished" (Forbes)? So, if she's so smart, what has she accomplished? Let us put aside her Muslim Brotherhood family background -- let us put it aside in the same corner as Anthony Weiner's infidel penis, the Muslim Brotherhood being one of the few things on the planet rising even more spectacularly than Anthony. Instead, consider merely the official résumé. ...My old boss Conrad Black recently pointed out that "the economy can't recover as it did in the past until more people are adding value" -- making and doing something real. Instead, 40 percent of Americans perform minimal-skilled service jobs about to be rendered obsolete by technology, and almost as many pass their productive years shuffling paperwork from one corner of the land to another in various "professional services" jobs that exist to in order to facilitate compliance with the unceasing demands of the microregulatory state. The daily Obamacare fixes -- which are nothing to do with "health" "care" but only with navigating an impenetrable bureaucracy -- are the perfect embodiment of the Republic of Paperwork. But nobody adds lack of value like America's present leadership class -- diversicrats, community organizers, and "power couples" comprising somebody handling the transition of a government official and somebody handling the transition in his boxers. If this is "smart" and "accomplished," no wonder Putin's laughing his head off. |
