an open letter to Clay Johnson:
hi clay - for someone who's
twitter tag line is 'Confirmation Bias is the new H1N1' you seem to have
neglected your own confirmation bias.
Todd may be and probably
is a great guy. that is super. however government doesn't just work
because folks a super. should it be admired that he works hard, yes.
however government also sometimes has super people have bad things
happen under their watch.
enter in the two-party system. a
Democratic administration might have, exactly what you are showing,
confirmation bias that nothing involving waste, fraud, or abuse occurred
because clearly their super hard-working people can do no wrong. their
self-interests could miss this. this is not to say that Todd did
anything wrong, but the process needs to work out.
you are
demonizing Issa because your own internal confirmation bias says is Todd
is super, Issa must not be super. that's okay on one level because you
are playing the role of a partisan supporter of your bias - but it is
not okay if you self-proclaim 'Confirmation Bias is the new H1N1'
without checking your own confirmation biases just shown here.
Issa
is playing his role too, self-interests to examine and scrutinize.
don't be hating the system working as intended. Todd may be super and
in the end scrutiny will show he's done no wrong. But Issa may be super
too and your post here is trying to circumvent that scrutiny.
are
you a fan of the Sunlight foundation? can't only good things come from
Sunlight? ask yourself, if you hadn't worked for Todd (bias 1) and if
this was a Republician administration that had screwed up healthcare.gov
and not a Democratic one (bias 2) wouldn't you be blogging all about we
need Congress to investigate this?
just sayin' \ be consistent
