    Media incompetence

    This highlights two problems:

    1. How could the media possibly give good reviews for a "marginally competent job"? Isn't this how we ended up with the mess we're in now? Just do your job and tell the truth.

    2. We allow pundits and the media to tell us things like the name Huckabee matter. Dan Bartlett will go on TV and talk about the funny name and after hammering that for weeks or months everyone will accept it. Much the same way we had to hear about who Americans would rather have a beer with.
