Anatomically Improbable

So, how do you kick your own ass?

“I was down there a month ago, before most of these talkin’ heads were even paying attention to the gulf. A month ago I was meeting with fishermen down there, standin’ in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. and I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”


Here's some advice, Mr. President. Solve the problem first and save the ass-kicking for later. And solving the problem means getting the bureaucracy out of the way and letting people do what needs to be done. If the Army Corps of Engineers is a problem, tell them to knock it off. Posturing with Chuck Todd isn't especially helpful.
