Yes, our own Representative Seth Moulton, never one to say no to a moronic publicity stunt, flew into Afghanistan with an idiot friend and, according to him, saved lives! What a guy. Of course, it is critical in this debacle that we have Congresspersons on the ground at the Kabul airport “overseeing” evacuations since the military is obviously incapable of doing their job as well as Superman Seth. Yes, let’s have some attention-seeking politicians just appear on the scene to, as they put it, conduct Congressional “oversight.” Yeah, and we’ve got a bridge to sell you. For those doing some actual evacuation work at the airport, it must have been even worse than having the kids pestering you with stupid questions while you’re in the middle of something. Superman Seth retorts that he was thanked for not giving any notice of his visit because, he claims, someone told him it was better that way since they didn’t have to prepare anything. So now the lack of even basic courtesy is a good thing! And so now it’s OK for any big shot to just show up at hot-spots anytime and anywhere to provide “oversight”? That’s the logical end point for Superman’s thinking, if you can call it that. Is that what we want?
With all due respect to Superman Seth’s war experience and decorations, those unfortunately for him don’t equate to having intelligence and common sense. It’s really amazing how many Harvard grads lack both, most of whom seem to end up in government making policy, alas. We propose a new law – that Harvard graduates (and professors) should be barred from any kind of government employment or influence of any kind. We’d all be better off. The “best and brightest,” right. Maybe instead all these brainiacs should have to actually work for a living. Just a thought.
But Superman Seth has gone to the well of relying on his military experience as justification for doing stupid things too often, and any respect for him on that account is now dried up and there is no benefit of the doubt for him anymore. Sigh…there just aren’t enough words to describe this kind of arrogant cluelessness, although several choice ones come to mind as a start…
