I look at Stelter and Lemon as the bottom of the barrel. I just see Lemon as an affirmative action hire. I don’t know what the deal is with Stelter. He must be someone’s cousin or has damaging info on someone. Compare them to Laura Ingraham or Tucker and they are worse by several orders of magnitude. I just don’t get it.

"He must be someone’s cousin or has damaging info on someone."

I am now retired, but throughout my career as a City of Seattle employee, there always seemed to be one person whose success was a complete mystery. They rose through the ranks with no apparent talent, and usually ended up as a manager managing no one, a "special assignment" person who never seemed to be involved in anything of significance.

It sometimes turned pout that these people had a romantic relationship with someone in a position of power. I remember only one situation in which it backfired; a manager got a woman pregnant and began appointing her to positions for which she was increasingly unqualified. When it came out that he had cheated on one or more of the hring processes, they were both booted.
