Michael Dukakis was asked recently...

...what he thought of Indiana governor Mitch Daniels. The former presidential candidate said what I've been thinking for some time (my emphasis):

"Some reporter called me and said, 'This guy Daniels, he's emphasizing competence.' And I said, 'Wasn't he George [W.] Bush's OMB director his first two years? Wasn't he the architect of this crackpot fiscal policy that now has given us a $14 trillion national debt? I mean, he's a bright guy, I like him, but give me a break, will you?"
