Remember the old statement - "A person rises to his or her own level

[zbdent]

of incompetence"?

(I forget who originated this).

Well, Bush blows that theory out of the water . . .

He rose well beyond his level of incompetence . . .

1. It was from a book called

The Peter Principle.

Everyone rises to his own level of incompetence, so nothing works.

2. Except for those who refuse to rise to that level, then everyone

else who is rising must shuttle around them. Bush needs to execute a "lateral arabesque," and be moved to a remote corner of the building.

Edit to add:this was known as "Peter's pretty pass."

3. In point of fact, boosh hit his level of incompetence at about

the age of thirteen. From then on, he's been little more than a counter on the board, no doubt far more valuable-to the rest or America-as a drunken sot, but highly useful to the dark forces of power as a halloween mask, useful for frightening children and annoying thoughtful, emotionally developed adults.

4. That same book goes on to say...

if you wish to fire someone, you promote them beyond their ability. They are bound to fail, thus you re justified in firing them.

However, in moron* land, it's the complete opposite. The fire or "retire" the competent and promote the incompetent way beyond their ability and give them medals on top of it.

bizarro* world: where the fools rule and the intelligent are shamed.
