Letter to the editor:

No more messianic incompetence

Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee recently said, “I didn’t major in math. I majored in miracles.”

I would just ask everyone to reflect on the nationally enervating result of being patronizingly lorded over by an innumerate dilettante for the past seven-plus years.

Although the genial Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, appears not to be afflicted with President Bush’s grandiose, frequently petulant narcissism, I think we have all had quite enough of straining beneath the boots of shallowly charming messianic incompetence. The stakes for humanity have become far too high.
