Loyalty

Reading this NYTimes piece about Giuliani and the likely to be indicted Kerik and the disaster that was his DHS nomination, I got to thinking....

At some point, political loyalty becomes an act of egotism.

I'm not saying everyone should be chucked over the side at the first sign of trouble, but at the same time, an inability to accept outside advice is a serious character flaw that could have serious results.... Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Condi Rice.....

I think one of the reasons I'm so anti-Giuliani is that I see in him the exact same flaws that I see in our current president.

So, I say, let's elect new flaws in '08.

(I want a bumper sticker.)
