It's not a odd question at all from a supporter of people for whom
everything is a question of gaining or losing political advantage. It's all
a game to them.

Ladies and gentlemen, John DiIulio:

"In eight months, I heard many, many staff discussions, but not three
meaningful, substantive policy discussions. There were no actual policy
white papers on domestic issues. There were, truth be told, only a couple
of people in the West Wing who worried at all about policy substance and
analysis....On social policy and related issues, the lack of even basic
policy knowledge, and the only casual interest in knowing more, was
somewhat breathtaking -- discussions by fairly senior people who meant
Medicaid but were talking Medicare; near-instant shifts from discussing any
actual policy pros and cons to discussing political communications, media
strategy, et cetera. Even quite junior staff would sometimes hear quite
senior staff pooh-pooh any need to dig deeper for pertinent information on
a given issue."
