Do We Really Want One of Those Kind of Persons as President?

Watching the way Petraeus and Crocker are being handled in the Senate today, my main thought wasn't about Iraq, but what a huge mistake it is to elevate a Senator to the presidency.

Senators are a scary lot.

The habits of grandstanding, preening, and general stupidity seem to seep into these folks as they sit in those committees, hearings and voting sessions year after year. We've wisely avoided picking Senators for president for quite some time now, but this year we are faced with no alternative but to elevate one of these jackasses to the highest office.

Oh, well.
