War Czar: the worst job ever

Bush selects general for 'war czar'

The not-very-long and relatively unfruitful search for a war czar ended today with Bush's appointment of General Douglas E. Lute. But Lute's already got two strikes against him in my book, and here's why:

1: He's only a three-star general. What a pussy. I didn't even know they had three-star generals, probably because they suck and never get appointed to any cool positions.
2: He was dumb enough to take the job. This position is an odd Catch-22, because it requires an extremely intelligent person. On the other hand, anyone that would take the job at this point must be a fucking idiot (two four-star generals turned Bush down, which proves my point about three-star generals. Hacks. All of them).

Here's some info on Lute, who seems to be a good guy (too bad his job is hopeless)

-	Biographical data on Gen. Douglas E. Lute

The actual job of the War Czar is unclear (how fitting), but what is clear is that the title is fitting. This guy will have to be a serious feudal lord (in the Czar Nicholas sense of course) to get anything done.

Lute will have to go through the Senate confirmation, which will give the Democrats ample time to bitch and the Republicans ample time to walk the thin line between giving Bush a pseudo-blowjob and trying not to come off like a commie. I'll be watching for sure, because I'm definitely not tired of hearing old people complain because they're grandkids forgot to change their diapers.
