[net.politics] James Watt and Horses

murphy@hou2a.UUCP (R.GANNS) (09/30/83)

           Acrid Opinion #6,573,492 :

           That James Watt bears a striking resemblance to the south
        end of a north-bound horse is no coincidence; Ronnie "if-you've
        seen-one-redwood-you've-seen-them-all " Reagan deliberately
        appointed Watt for the express purpose of needling the 
        environmentalists and anyone else with an I.Q. over 50.

I have a theory:

Presidents hate to do anything that looks like bowing to pressure.
If he kept his nose clean for a couple of months the President
would be able to get rid of the embarrassment without acknowledging
being embarrassed. James Watt knows this, so he goes out at regular
intervals and does something outrageous so that the President has to
not fire him again.

No-way...  Reagan is not smart enough for such a subtle form of manipulation!
