Erik Prince is a Saint !

Now normally, the description of the very all American CEO of Blackwater would make me despise him on principal, " Erik Prince is a multi-millionaire right-wing fundamentalist Christian from a powerful Michigan Republican family." BUT after watching the Blackwater hearings today on CSPAN he deserves to be canonized. I have never witnessed such total and complete idiocy and stupidity from supposed grown professional men, and I have sat in many a boardroom and conference room. These hearings take the cake. Both the Republicans and the Democrats with a few exceptions sound like idiotic little boys all vying to see who is going to get more attention. The stupidest and most inane comment had to come from rep. Christopher Murphy, D-Conn. " I'm not a businessman." This was his preamble to demanding that Prince disclose the annual profitability of his firm on national TV. Like this would not hurt his competitive edge. Give me a break..If this is the calibre of the average American politician, its a complete mystery as to why America has not turned into a backwater state run by a group of petty tyrants. Oh wait..maybe it already has. I say all of this despising, religious right wing fundamentalists, but Erik Prince was indeed a very tolerant man.
