Meddling in the Affairs of Others

For John, BLUF:  Plank in one's own eye kind of thing.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

From Talking Points Memo, "McAuliffe:  Possible Texas Takeover 'One Of The Dumbest Things I've Ever Heard'".  The lede in the Catherine Thompson story:

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) said Thursday that his Texas counterpart's decision to ask the State Guard to monitor a planned U.S. military training exercise was "one of the dumbest things" he's ever heard.

I picked this up on Facebook.

Do you think Governor McAuliffe is the smartest kid in the room?  He was Chairman of Ms Clinton's Presidential Campaign in 2008.  But, I think the best example of his being more craven than smart is that US Highway 1, the first link from Maine to Florida, is named, in Virginia, Jefferson Davis Highway, after the worst Democrat President in the history of the nation.  Once he fixes that, and cleans up some other highway and school names, I will be interested in what he has to say.  For now I think he needs some down time.
