It is a good thing to denigrate these people and destroy the artificial respect created for them by political image creators and a sycophant press, but be wary of the kind of confidence that comes from being too sure of their stupidity.

A dead snake can still bite.

"My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life. Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it. She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly.... there is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president.

 

Prof. DeLong's observation reveals not simple stupidity, but stupidity rooted in arrogance, which can in fact be quite dangerous.
