Czar?
I would not mind the office so much if the office-holders, like some blood-soaked versions of dollar-a-year men, took it with the understanding that it would end with internal exile followed by a firing squad. But no.
And in the self-parody fashion there's all sorts of happy talk about the *new* Ebola-czar (who has experience as a political fixer and no medical or organizational experience)...
Which ignores that there's already an outbreak/Ebola czar from HSS, who's actually a doctor. But she's in a scandal right now so she's being an unperson for the moment.

Yeah, we're all going to be czarry with these incompetents running the show.
I'd just be happy if they had any demonstable skills. Aside from poltical apple-polishing, that is.
IMPERATOR MIGHT BE THE PREFERRED TITLE ITS MORE ACCURATE BUT I FEEL IT MAY HAVE FALLEN OUT OF FASHION OF LATE
