Susana Martinez seems like a bad governor, and she would be a bad president, for most of the same reasons that George W. Bush was a bad president, but she is just another exemplar of America’s long and proud tradition of elevating assholes to high positions because they seem like they get things done.
Basically what I was getting at here. But, no, assholes don't necessarily get anything done, and if they do it's probably some pretty assholic stuff.
