Democrats go ballistic after Virginia redistricting fail with erratic incompetence

It could very well be that the embarrassing spelling and clerical errors Virginia’s attorney general’s office has made in the legal battle over redistricting are due to incompetence. Attorney General Jay Jones is a man who has wished for the children of his political opponents to be killed, and such venality never correlates strongly with fitness for office.

But incompetence, as always, is the kind explanation. When the late and sorely missed Charles Krauthammer issued his Krauthammer Razor — “In explaining any puzzling Washington phenomenon, always choose stupidity over conspiracy, incompetence over cunning. Anything else gives them too much credit” — he was exonerating guilty parties.
