re: #183 theheat

What I find amazing is no one figured out she was a lying, pandering, notsobright, fundie nutjob within five minutes of meeting her. And, even after meeting her, someone still decided she was perfect for the job. I find that positively shocking.

I suppose interviewing people living on the streets off their meds would have been too time consuming?

I find it more than shocking. I find it infuriating in its cynicism and its sheer carelessness about who they were going to pick to be that close to power. True, they did a shitty job vetting her, but there was no way that they didn’t know generally speaking who they were picking, and so I conclude that they just didn’t give a shit— so long as she brought home those Dobson, fundie, wingnut votes.
Despicable. People who make such careless choices don’t deserve to be in power.
