remember that this is the same president who didn’t understand the risks involved in shutting down the government indefinitely, who didn’t even know there was any kind of portfolio of risks the department of energy managed, or how much greater danger the united states faces because he unilaterally abrogated the negotiated agreement with iran.

he has no more concept of what the risks are for proposals like this as he does of how to drive a firetruck or to mine coal, two other activities he pantomimed as he ran for the office. but the scariest thing is that he doesn’t even seem to want to know. i thought bush 43 was dangerously incurious for a president of the united states but by comparison to the current president bush 43 was an intellectual titan–and that is a phrase i never in my life expected to use.
