The selection process is awesome. Raised hands, minor confessions, good postures, happy faces turning into Rushmore visages, these and other images sway supposedly intelligent people on the other end of the great tube.
Yet this process has been carefully developed and refined. It is really awesome. Look at its results: First of all, forget Carter. He was a misfit and should never have gotten here. But since WWII we have picked out some real doozies. Eisenhower was a natural, then came Kennedy and from there it got grim. Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Regan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II. All of these people have many things to keep them from ever being elected to ANY position, much less the hightest one we have in America. So what happened?
