SILVER PLATTER

I think one of the dumbest things I've seen this White House do is, in the wake of the Fitzgerald investigations, requiring up to 3,000 staffers to take an "ethics class."

I worked in corporate America long enough to know why an MBA who's trying to run the governmnet like it's a business would do it. But the government ISN'T a business, and there are times when a CYA move like this is simply pennies from Heaven to the opposition.
