A Fool's Fool

In Wednesday PM USA Today:

"John Podesta was just named as a new senior-level adviser to President Obama last week, but he's already ruffling Republican feathers.

In a profile published late Tuesday night by Politico Magazine, Podesta is quoted comparing Republicans to the infamous cult led by Jim Jones, who was responsible for the 1978 cyanide poisoning of more than 900 of his followers in Guyana.

"They need to focus on executive action given that they are facing a second term against a cult worthy of Jonestown in charge of one of the houses of Congress," said Podesta of what Obama's White House team faces. Jonestown was the informal name of the settlement founded by Jones and his American followers.

On Wednesday, Podesta apologized for his impolitic comment.

"In an old interview, my snark got in front of my judgment. I apologize to Speaker Boehner, whom I have always respected," posted on his Twitter account.

The Jonestown incident marked one of the most horrific mass killings in American history."

Here is a tip for you, Mr Podesta: The next time you have an urge to say something stupid, instead, keep your trap shut. What you said was the most vile, insulting statement any official has ever said in the five years your boss has been running the show.

Say what you want about Barry, who is a very snarky man, and somewhat disingenuous. Even he has not said anything this absolutely revolting. 

And by the way, John-Boy, you should really know better, since even your old boss, who can be very politic in his speech, never, ever would say anything this mean about the loyal opposition. And, he had plenty of reason to during his time in office, with all the investigations done on him and/or his wife.

Take a lesson on class. You certainly need it, because obviously you have none. 

And the fact that you apologized to Speaker Boehner and the rest of the Republican membership in both Houses of the Congress, means you knew what you were going to say, (and don't say it just came from nowhere; we are not that stupid) because first things said generally come from the heart. 

Perhaps, before you do or say anything else which might hurt this already troubled Presidency, why not resign, because with fools like you around, Barry's time is going to just be more difficult. 

Cya, John. We hardly knew you.
