WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Republicans, who mercilessly mocked Barack Obamas lack of government experience before he became President, now favor Presidential candidates with no experience whatsoever, the head of the Republican National Committee has confirmed.
The R.N.C. chief Reince Priebus said that he sees no contradiction at all between Republicans contempt for Obamas pre-White House résumé, which included eleven years spent in public office, and their rabid enthusiasm for G.O.P. rising stars Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina, whose combined years in public office total zero.
I think what bothered us Republicans the most about Obama was that he was a community organizer, Priebus explained. What does organizing people have to do with running a government?
In contrast with that dubious credential, he said, Ben Carson is eminently qualified to be President because of his experience as a neurosurgeon. I think if Ben had negotiated with the Iranians we would have gotten a better deal, because he would have known how their brains worked, medically and all, Priebus argued.

Maybe someone should point that out to the folks who so desperately want the government to be run like a business.
