no matter how badly people like Brown screw up, they have an unwavering knack for landing on their feet time after time again. They always seem to have a good gig waiting for them after they resign/are fired. There's always some right-wing think tank opening their doors to them, or there's some hate radio station that can't wait to give them a megaphone to spew their venom. Failing that, there's always some book publisher that's ready to offer them a chance to write their "memoirs" about their time in office when they were screwing up.
Then you have the average person who shows up at their jobs every day get pink slipped, loses their house, can't put food on their table, has to declare bankruptcy and ends up at a homeless shelter (where people like Paul Ryan show up for shameless photo ops pretending to wash dishes 
) through no fault of their own.
How the hell does this stuff happen? How do the Cheneys, the Rumsfelds, the Brownies, et. al keep getting all of this free publicity when they should be at home cowering under the beds and praying that none of them ever get hauled off to Gitmo or the Hague for their incompetence/war crimes? Can somebody please explain this to me?
