Plenty to see here, but move along, move along

Crib sheets for a man long past his nap time

Powerline’s Scott Johnson:

Can you imagine being one of the staffers whose job includes preparation of the cheat sheets? When the chief of staff reviewed YOUR first draft, he told YOU that YOU forgot the instruction of the president to “depart” the event. He might have stuck around where he was no longer needed or wanted.

When YOU leave the White House, YOU can note on YOUR résumé that you instructed the leader of the free world what to do to get make it through his day. In order to do the job, YOU had to put YOURSELF in his place and imagine the level of detail he required. YOU learned that he required a level of detail befitting an elderly gentleman who is losing his faculties. YOU had to tell him to sit down in his seat or he might remain standing — or sit in someone else’s seat.

YOU won’t want to note that YOU performed the job at some personal sacrifice. YOU worried that YOU would be blamed when he failed to follow YOUR instructions. YOU dreamed that you forgot to capitalize YOU and YOUR. YOU began to lose YOUR mind. YOU concluded that it was time to move on.

leader of the free world — poor ol’ world
