SCOTT GARRETT, HERO MAN - Esquire
One of the less appreciated aspects of the Reign Of The Morons, now entering its second smash week, is the fact that the country is currently being led into the abyss by an incredible passel of drama queens. People are quick to mention that the people behind all of this are economically innumerate, politically opportunistic, personally mendacious, and often generally as dumb as a big old box of rocks. But their capacity to cast themselves as the stars of their own personal action-adventure movie may be well nigh limitless.
Today's example of this phenomenon is Representative Scott Garrett of New Jersey, who looks in his mirror every morning while shaving and sees William Wallace, face painted blue, staring back at him, and who apparently daily confuses the cab that takes him to his office on Capitol Hill with a Higgins boat lumbering toward Omaha Beach.
