Bob; a funny coincidence; I'm watching the Lehrer News Hour and they talked 
about the phrase "best and brightest". It apparently came into political 
usage in the book of that title by David Halberstam. The commentators (Mark 
Shields and David Brooks) said that the phrase was used sarcastically by 
Halberstam, and if the Obama team had read the book, they wouldn't use that 
phrase to describe their team.

>Look at what has happened now.  All of these great minds -- the best and 
the brightest-- have destroyed our economy and our culture.  Cost us 
trillions  and trillions.  They are the biggest losers in history; the 
biggest thieves in history; the worst human parasites in history.  \\
