120. Peter Principle
Edited on Mon Dec-17-07 10:04 PM by OzarkDem
Definition: "Anything that works will be used in progressively more challenging applications until it causes a disaster."

These people are the cockroaches of Dem leadership. They thrived in a hostile environment by learning how to make the best of their ability to raise money for campaigns and getting re-elected. Any candidate who has those two traits as the primary leadership style are not good leaders, just survivors. They're people who've learned to keep their careers alive by keeping a low profile, doing as they're told, and appeasing those who fund them - corporations.

Their ability to survive ended up getting them finally promoted to their level of incompetence.

Time to let them go.
