Lemmings

Digby 's commentary, inspired by Vonnegut's remark about PP's:


This gets to one of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with this
administration. We keep expecting that they will be held accountable for
lying, or breaking their promises or misrepresenting their policies or any
number of other things we can file under the heading of WTF? But,
because they are moving so fast and with such focus we simply cannot
assess the damage before they are on to the next item.

They execute, they don’t plan. Their vision is a laundry list. They do not
reassess their policy goals, ever, because they do not really have goals.
They have an itemized agenda. And, they just keep moving. Like sharks.
They don’t have regrets and they never question. They have faith that
whatever their team is doing, it must be right and the most important thing
is to GET THE JOB DONE.

That’s why this administration is so irrational and incompetent on every
single level

These people are not natural leaders. They are natural followers. Like
lemmings, they are following their instincts without knowing that they are
all jumping off the edge of a cliff. Unfortunately they are taking us and the
rest of the world with them.
