      I came here to misspell the only Spanish sentence I “know”. Thank you for making that unnecessary.

    I think those two options really cover a vast swath of political action in the US, kind of a cop out of a call out, Mr. Paul.

    Never attribute to incompetence that which is adequately explained by malice.

    Hey Rand, I made a Mad Lib for you:

    [person’s name] is either ‘incompetent’ or ‘lying’ over [latest crisis], says [another person’s name].

    It’s nearly guaranteed to be accurate, no matter the choice of names and crisis.
