Oh, let me think... oh, I know! It's because they're so good at pretending to care about their constituents and making empty promises that they have no intention of keeping. That takes a lot of intelligence, right? Or maybe it's because they're so skilled at manipulating the media and spin doctoring their way out of difficult situations. Yeah, that must be it. Or wait, maybe it's because they're just really good at sucking up to the right people and climbing the political ladder. Yes, that must be it. It's definitely not because they're actually intelligent or competent. No, no. That couldn't be it.
