re: #32 Great White Snark

The premise that non Republicans could not possibly ever (past or future) make a disastrous mistake under financial or political pressure or both is a hard one to prove. But by all means take your best shot.

Competence knows no party bounds.

Well, I think the difference is one of intent. The vast majority of liberals believe in government, and are trying to make it work. They may make a horrible mistake, but they weren’t actively hostile to their own craft. It’s like Francis Ford Coppola making a shitty movie. Sure he can make a stinker now and then, but it’s not through lack of trying. While the Republicans are busy making Transformers IIV and Shrek: The Bride of Chucky Meets Stitch. They just turn out dreck because they really don’t care.

In other words, Democrats are Scorsese and Republicans are Michael Bay.
