Napolitano's 'no drama' competence shows her potential [Hilarious!!!]
Washington Post ^ | 01/01/2010 | David Broder

Posted on 01/02/2010 12:49:30 AM PST by Enchante

"It came as no surprise to anyone who knows her that Napolitano handled the incident and its aftermath with aplomb. In the years I have known her, she has managed every challenge that has come her way with the same calm command that she showed in this instance. If there is anyone in the administration who embodies President Obama's preference for quiet competence with "no drama," it is Janet Napolitano."

Who says that liberals are devoid of humor??? This column by Broder, trying to salvage the political future of Janet Napolitano, is absolutely hilarious...... ok, well, unintentionally so.......

Clearly Broder gives the expression "Monica kneepads" new meaning as he desperately tries to distract attention from the train wreck of Napolitano's career.

President Obama's preference for quiet competence with "no drama,"

Competence so quiet, it doesn't exist--that's Obama (TM) Brand Quiet Competence.

If liberals had to run on their records and the truth; they would have become extinct a long time ago.

I don’t know where to start. Broder must be high on something.

The CEO at my failing company uses the same strategy... B.S.
double talk, placing blame for failure upon the
line level supervisors and the security guard.

It’s political spin at it’s worst.

One of the earliest things Obama got praise for was saying he "screwed up" over the selection of, I think, Tom Daschle.

I don't think he's made such an admission since, yet the media will throw that up as proof he's not like Bush who "never admitted to making a mistake."

Obama is a thug. As we have learned, there are plenty of thugs who sit behind desks, tossing people not in positions of power to the wolves, and getting praised for such foolishness as saying "I was wrong" ONE time, while he makes mistake after mistake. Or, in his case, intentionally destructive decision after intentionally destructive decision.

I can’t believe he wrote this. Now he’s a laughingstock too.

Wow! A Broder column which is actually entertaining, even if entirely due to unintended humor. David S. Broder has always been dependably boring and stupid. Turns out he can only manage to be slightly less boring by becoming slightly more stupid.

“It came as no surprise to anyone who knows her that Napolitano handled the incident and its aftermath with aplomb.”

Exactly. She doesn’t comprehend the problem therefore she, as a slow-witted or stupid person, assumes that all is well.

Broder managed to totally omit her actions since taking the job, prior to the Christmas gaff.

Like, comparing returning soldiers to terrorists (just because they might be conservative).

And her lame follow-up on “the system worked” gaff.

Goodnight, and goodbye, David.

As a writer, Broder knows and has made his living on the power of the word.

“The System Worked” speaks for itself.

Is he having an affair with her?

My goodness, what a cream puff article about a flagrant , flaming , uh, foul-up .

But her potential is almost unlimited.

Yeah, so is a fart's potential. Sometimes it;s just a fart, other times it's a steaming pile, like this article.
