Sho-Con: Otter Is Warren Harding

Shoshone Conservative (RE: Ybarra rips Luna re: SchoolNet): I disagree that "Otter is the puppet master." Otter is more comparable to Ulysses S. Grant or Warren G. Harding -- not culpable DIRECTLY culpable or involved in the shenanigans going on in his administration, but INDIRECTLY culpable in being entirely disinterested and disengaged, thus allowing it to happen. In other words, I sincerely believe that Butch Otter is not, himself, dishonest. But he can't be bothered to expend the effort in keeping his appointees in line, which makes him a weak and ineffective Governor.

Question: I think Sho-Con is right about Otter. Thoughts?
