What North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue Really Meant

.
A lot of fisking and tsk-tsking going on over the internets about North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue's statements to a Rotary Club meeting the other day.

"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that," Perdue said. "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

All this indignation is quite misplaced, however. Governor Perdue was just telling a joke. Here's what she really is angling toward:

"I think President Obama ought to disband, perhaps, Congress for two years and confer with his own Administration's advisers, cabinet, czars, Warren Buffett, and other crony capitalist millionaires/billionaires. We will just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that," Perdue said. "You want people who don't worry about the next election."

Now, isn't that more reasonable?
