Love of indirections

So the headline that just zipped past on Google Desktop was "Giuliani Set to Announce Formal Campaign for Presidency in 2008".

And, y'know, *think* about that. It's an announcement, of an announcement, of a campaign, to actually start doing something in about two years. And the worst part is, that's the way these things are normally done nowadays.

Surely that says something about how screwed up modern politics is...

I think by "to do something" he meant "to be president", which would in fact start in about two years. Though one might wish to give credit for transition planning.
