He’s been running around federal offices dressed up like a Sith Lord in his Darth Vader getup, peddling horse pucky to his low critical thinking audience. There's not much chance that he'll remember making this claim in the middle of today's Ketamine frolic.

There are legions of mediocre men and women, most of whom compromised their integrity years ago, just waiting to take the reins of government. They'll steal paper clips, staplers, computers, and any budget item the can shuttle over to their friends and families. Don't even look for competence.
