Here’s some other advice for politicians. When you hand pick and assemble an expert panel to deal with the oil spill in the Gulf you are correct to select them because of their demonstrated capabilities in creative problem solving and you are an idiot for dismissing them from the panel because of their views on homosexuality. The last I checked capping underwater oil well blowouts had no intersection with personal viewpoints on homosexuality.
Next think you know these politicians will be appointing a diversity commission to oversee the creation of expert panels to insure that racial diversity will be a more important criterion than genius.
