IWA For Sunday 062208

Is there any doubt?

Hey folks,

Yes it is Sunday. Therefore it's time to award the IWA. Check out these credentials.

He served as Secretary of the Navy in the Clinton administration from November 1998 to January 2001 and was Undersecretary of the Navy from November 1993 to May 1997. In between, he was a Traveling Fellow in Asia and Europe for the Center of International Political Economy and an Adjunct Professor at Maxwell's School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He previously served on our Board from 1987 to 1993 while he was a partner at the law firm of Latham & Watkins. He is currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for Naval Analysis, a consultant to the U.S. government, a member of the Department of Homeland Security "Net Assessment" Panel on Bioterrorism, a director of the Center for New American Security, a member of the U.S. Military Southern Counsel Advisory Board, and a Nunn Prize Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Analysis. He is a graduate of Reed College and also has degrees from Yale Law School and from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He is a director of Human Genome Sciences, Inc. and Saffron Hill Investors (private).

He is a big time, old school Lib. He is brilliant and well experienced in Foreign Affairs. Barack Obama has just hired him to be his Adviser. So you would think that Obama made the right move, having no experience on matter himself. It's good for him to look to an expert on Foreign Affairs. So what is this expert's opinion? Having all these years experience? Being one of the smartest people in the room?

Deep in the hundred acre wood,
Where Christopher Robin plays,
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood,
Of Christopher's childhood days.
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend,
And Kanga, and little Roo.
There's Rabbit, and Piglet, and there's Owl,
But most of all Winnie-the-Pooh.

Winnie-the-Pooh,
Winnie-the-Pooh,
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.
He's Winnie-the-Pooh.
Winnie-the-Pooh.
Willy, nilly, silly, old bear

Yes folks, The winner this week is non-other than Richard Danzig

Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: “Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”

Mr Danzig spelt out the need to change by reading a paragraph from chapter one of the children’s classic, which says: “Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down stairs. But sometimes he thinks there really is another way if only he could stop bumping a minute and think about it.”

Yes, this is the wisdom of the smartest person in the room. This is the wisdom of the Adviser to the guy that wants to be the next President of the United states of America.

Little Hitler, {Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad} continues uninterrupted his quest for Nuclear Weapons, continues to call for the destruction of Israel, chants death to America, "The Great Satin" and Mr. Danzig's answer, to read from Winnie the Pooh.

Congratulations Mr. Danzig, you ARE the Idiot of the Week, and no doubt, you are in the running for Idiot of the Year. Folks, just remember this, THIS is a very REAL guy advising someone who wants YOUR VOTE to be President.
