[[that bizarre, and disturbingly effective, tactic pioneered by the Obama Administration where officials claim to be innocent of wrongdoing by insisting they’re not very good at their jobs]]
Wonder how well that owudl work IF a republican tried that ‘defense’?
Wonder how well that owudl work IF a republican tried that ‘defense’?
It is extremely disturbing how effective the tactic is.
The technique was pioneered and honed to perfection by the Clinton Administration to defend themselves in the court of public opinion over the rampant corruption and malfeasance committed by the Clinton's and the resulting multitude of scandals that resulted and dogged them.
The “ I'm not a criminal, I'm simply and ignorant and incompetent person over promoted to a position where I was in way over my head and totally out of my depth” was the excuse used for the Clinton Administration was caught red handed committing the most blatant and serious misdeeds, many of which were seriously crimes.
It got so bad in the final days of the Clinton Administration that you could immediately identify the serious scandals where the players has with criminal because the players would immediately go public and trot out the “I'm an incompetent idiot “ line of defense in the media.
You knew it was an act because the Clinton people who were using that defense were invariably the most arrogant, egotistical , narcissistic, entitled and self important Ivy League grads who considered themselves the cream of the crop and the best of the best of the Intellectual and Ruling elite.
For these would be, self proclaimed Masters of the Universe, the only thing worse than humbling and debasing themselves in front of the rubes living in fly over country by loudly proclaiming their monumental and pathological stupidity and incompetence as an excuse for their misdeeds when they were trotted out on the Sunday Morning Political Show Circuit was the prospect of sure thing felony conviction and at 10-20 year incarceration at Ft Leavenworth.
So they took the lesser of two evils and plead stupid and incompetence.
You know the Obama Administration players must be seeing the handwriting on the wall and are feeling the heat because they are now using the “I'm stupid and incompetent” game plan pulled directly from the Clinton Damage Control and Scandal Management playbook and reserved for Admiration members caught dead to rights in the most blatant and indefensible misdeeds.
You can infer that things must be really bad to, because the current crop of Obama Administration are far, far more insufferably arrogant , egotistical and malignant than their predecessors in the Clinton Admin 20 years ago.
And while the Team Clinton in the good old 90’s simply ridiculed us rubes in fly over country and held us in utter contempt their counterparts in today's Obama Administration simply cannot hide their deep seated hatred for the main stream, middle class Americans or conceal their desire to destroy the American middle class and bring it to it's knees by any means necessary - and preferably violent ones.
So for these dirt bags to be willing to debase and humble themselves by loudly professing their stupidity and incompetence in front of the American public they hate so much, the heat they feeling must be getting really bad indeed.
