You have to be really, really smart and highly educated to get a deal this bad, that or a know-nothing affirmative action pass through

OK suppose your neighbor has a toxic mess in his backyard or worse a 16’ by 12’ lighted billboard of a naked King Flimflam in his new suit that only the truly enlightened can see standing with her Royal Highazz Queen Moochele eating and enjoying a Martin Bashir excrement sandwich.   When it was first constructed, you approached your neighbor and asked him tone it down.  He refused, so you called the local officials for relief.  The local officials all refused to do anything about your neighbor’s hideous display because they could all see how wonderful the king looked in his new suit and admired Queen Moochele for “recycling” Martin Bashir’s arugula salad.

After a couple of years of back and forth you decide, screw him and close the easement by which the neighbor enters and exits the property.  You dig a six foot ditch and surround it with an iron gate.  You tell the neighbor you’ll open the easement when the sign comes down.

For a few weeks garbage piles up and supplies are difficult to get into the neighbor’s house.  But he constructs a path to the county road out the back of the property.  But it is not sufficient for emergency vehicles so his auto and home insurance skyrockets to Robertscare proportions.  Also the road is rough and pretty much impassable in foul weather.  After a year or so, you hear the neighbor’s wife yelling at him to “take the damn sign down.”

Just then you decide to go over and pay your neighbor $80,000 to continue to negotiate with you for another six months about the sign.  He uses the money to improve the path which gets insurance company and his wife off his back.  After six months, with the improvements made, he tells you to go pound sand.  The sign stays.

That is the essence of the “deal” King SFB and his mischief minister - Cambodian war hero Lord Horseface - have struck with the Iranians.  They are essentially paying the bully their lunch money if the bully will agree to negotiate with them for six months not to take their lunch money.  I’m pretty sure the king’s teenage punk son, if he had one, or the avatar Julia could have negotiated a deal that was at least as good.  Yet we’re told how smart King SFB and Lord Horseface are, much, much smarter than you or I, you see.

If getting this horrible deal is a sign of their “smarts,” the pundits are right.  I’d be way, way too stupid to have ever gotten such deal.  The first thing I would have done is demand the release of any American citizen in an Iranian jail.  I’d give them ten days and then tighten the sanctions.  So yeah, I never could have gotten a deal.

But hey, it’s only six months and 8 BILLION dollars, what’s the harm?  Give peace a chance.   Hmm, then there’s the Israelis.  They are not nearly as smart as King SFB and Lord Horseface.  What will they do?  The world wonders.  Dennis Miller summed it up in one tweet, “Bibi…it’s just one less phone call you’ll have to make when it’s go time.”
