Unfathomable Hubris

Most amazingly lame and self-serving comment of the day comes from this Senate staffer who writes in to Talking Points Memo:

My background is like probably the majority of staffers I know. I came to DC, from a far superior climate and quality of life, because I wanted to save the world.
If only they had been given more money to dole out than the $787B in the stimulus monstrosity (which was too small of course), we could have really recognized how the new aristocracy in Washington had our best interests at heart.

Sounds like the same motivation of Bremer's staff in the Coalition Provisional Authority.

There are reasons people like this are called "Hill Rats" by those of us who live in/around Washington, D.C.
