I used to work with lawyers. Lawyers that were also faculty members. Now I work with doctors. Doctors that also happen to be faculty. Those that combine the best of their respective professions are great. Unfortunately, those that combine the worst, well, they tend to be petulant, arrogant, spoiled children.

Speaking of which, how about our preznit? Just in case you thought his ignoring of the August 6, 2001 PDB (you know, the one that said Osama was determined to strike the US) was a fluke, now we have his admission yesterday that, when he was told that there was new information on Iran, he was told what it was, and he didn’t bother to fucking ask. Joe Biden said it best:

“Are you telling me a president who is briefed every single morning, who is fixated on Iran, is not told back in August that the tentative conclusion of 16 intelligence agencies in the United States government said they had abandoned their effort for a nuclear weapon in ’03?” Biden said in a conference call with reporters.

“That’s not believable,” Biden added. “I refuse to believe that. If that’s true, he has the most incompetent staff in … modern American history and he’s one of the most incompetent presidents in modern American history.”

Except I don’t think he needed to qualify it with either “one of” or “modern.”
