Just like signing CFR and the Prescription Drug Bill were strategery?
To paraphrase, never ascribe to strategery that which can be explained by stupidity.

CFR doubled hard money. The drug bill was stated to be preventive.

To paraphrase, never ascribe to strategery that which can be explained by stupidity. A paraphrase of one of my favorite tag lines... Never ascribe to evil intent that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Who said that, originally?
Anyway, the reason that I am thinking this way is that mere stupidity is not adequate to explain the action. The White House had to know that this thing would go down in flames. They could not possibly be that out of touch.

The original quote way by Napoleon. I always wondered about that.
