Wanted: A Better Class of Politicians

.
I hope no one has been waiting around for my recommendation before reading Mike Argento’s continuing commentary on the Dover School Board trial. The whole staff at the York Daily Record have been providing excellent coverage (Pulitzer, anyone?) of the Intelligent Design trial but Mr. Argento has been flat out funny as well as perceptive.
.
Today’s commentary on the continuing demolition of the board members (current puddle of sweat: Alan Bonsell) is no exception. Now that Judge John E. Jones III’s tolerance for perjury in his courtroom may be wearing thin, leading him to personally question Mr. Bonsell closely about his prior statements under oath (not a good sign for Mr. Bonsell), Mr. Argento was inspired to lament:

. . . it's really a sad day for America when public officials can no longer lie convincingly enough to get it past a federal judge.

I blame the public schools. I mean, just look at some of the bozos in charge of them.
It don’t get better than that.
