Ol' Brownie, the Arabian Stallion of the sinking 1600 Crew, has an interesting archive of emails that have been released, which will help immortalize him as the biggest Hindquarter of Horse in the history of political appointments.
Tucked into that treasure-trove of self-aggrandizing fashion commentary is this:
From: Worthy, Sharon

Subject: Your shirt
Please roll up the sleeves of your shirt...all shirts. Even the President rolled his sleeves to just below the elbow.
In this crises and on TV you just need to look more hard-working...ROLL UP THE SLEEVES!
"... you just need to look more hard-working..." if that doesn't sum up the attitude and substance of the 1600 Crew and the Mayberry Machiavelli's in a total nutshell, I'm just not sure what does.
Isn't email wonderful?

This is just another wardrobe malfunction for the 1600 Crew. If Commander Codpiece isn't standing awkwardly on a ship, he's having someone roll up his sleeves so he can strut about the ranch or down by the levee. It just comes naturally to some, I guess. It's the glue yard for you, brownie.

New pay-for-competence system for the Bushiveks, For every act of competence they get a pay credit, for every act of incompetence they get give the American public a refund. At this point every American owns a piece of a cattleless ranch in Crawford and a company called Haliburton.
