While being in the private sector sure didn't help them to do a good job, in no way did I mean that everyone in the private sector is a nitwit.

Hell, *I'm* in the private sector. And I don't think that *I'm* a nitwit. Well, usually I don't.

Ah... I'm missing a hyphen in "private-sector". That might help a little.
