Summing Up the General Assembly

I'll leave it to the folks at Red Maryland and Michael over at Monoblogue to go into detail summarzing the twists and turns of the recently concluded General Politburo.

I only wish to offer this general observation:  never before have I seen a gathering of government nicompoops so driven to take credit for fixing problems caused by their own venal stupidity and shameful incompetence.  The Maryland General Assembly -- from Michael Busch to Page Elmore and everyone in between -- has proven the Peter Principle in grand fashion.

It is as if you come home to find your son or daughter cleaning up the glass from a broken window, and saying "Look Dad!  I am cleaning up this mess for you!"  Of course, you later find out they threw a ball through the window, creating the mess in the first place.
