A better idiot

So far, the best quote I've seen in the news today, possibly the best quote I've seen anywhere in a long time in fact, is this one from Aaron Broussard, president of Jefferson Parish:

"Bureaucracy has murdered people in the greater New Orleans area. And bureaucracy needs to stand trial before Congress today...
I'm asking Congress, please investigate this now.
Take whatever idiot they have
at the top of whatever agency and
give me a better idiot.
Give me a caring idiot.
Give me a sensitive idiot.
Just don't give me the same idiot."

    That is poetry born out of anguish. So perfectly well said. Thanks for posting this - here and on my blog!
