"There are Useful Idiots and there are Useless Idiots. 

I probably fall into the latter category."

"It was while I was coordinator for counternarcotics

and justice reform in Afghanistan toward the end of

the Bush Administration that the thought occurred

to me: there needs to be more rhyming in political

campaigns. So, in my race for state auditor in

Missouri, I've been doing it. Take this, for instance:

'Bailouts and debt,
They got me feelin' dissed,
Sellin' out my son,
To Chinese Communists.'

It hits you like a blow to the solar plexus, doesn't it?"
