Ned is going to list a series of examples of what he considers to be arrogance and narcissistic behavior so beyond the pale as to be unimaginable. Ned is beginning to wade in a sea of befuddlement as pertains to many of his fellow sentient beings.
* How could someone in the public eye like Arnold Schwarzenegger FATHER A CHILD by one of his household "staff," and his wife NOT BE AWARE of it? How could this man be elected governor of the most populous state in the United States, with an economy BY ITSELF the ninth largest in the world, and this egregious business not even come up until this man has left office?
* How could Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the IMF and the most popular Socialist in France, attack a HOTEL MAID in BROAD DAYLIGHT and expect to get away with it? Apparently this man had made a habit of this kind of behavior over the years, but no one has seen fit to call him on it.
* How could a man like Newt Gingrich expect to be taken seriously on social and economic policy, besides on "family values", when he has had multiple affairs with female staffers, married apparently two of them after dumping the former wife, and by undergoing a "conversion to Catholicism" expect all his crimes and misdemeanors to be "washed away in the blood of the lamb" so to speak? What does this say about the moral bankruptcy of a political faction that would take him seriously as a presidential candidate?
* In each of the above cases, how can reasonably intelligent women marry such a man, and attempt to keep any shred of self-respect?
* How could a creature like John Ensign be elected Senator from Nevada given his background and the fact that he was given everything he had by his daddy and mummy, and then go on to have an affair with a married "staffer" with the FULL KNOWLEDGE of her husband, and then try to get his daddy to pay the guy $90k or more in hush money, and expect to get away with it?
*How can a charlatan like Donald Trump, who was given everything he had by his rich daddy, and who epitomizes the principle made famous by Keynes; to wit, if you owe your banker a thousand pounds he owns you, but if you owe him a million pounds you own him, be taken seriously be Republicans as a presidential candidate, or by Americans as an example of a successful businessman?
What in the hell is this place coming to?
