Rinse. Repeat.

Governor Pat McCrory, what a mensch! What a guy! What a brave and responsible fellow, to stand right up there yesterday and blame both Obama and former Gov. Perdue for the screwup in his Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), a screwup that mailed personal and confidential information about 49,000 children on Medicaid to 49,000 total strangers.

The Governor was apparently wearing his Deflector Ring (or does DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos have some compromising photos of him?).

Micah Beasley, a spokesman for the North Carolina Democratic Party, said, "Pat McCrory ... fills state government with over-priced, under-experienced campaign aides and political donors and then refuses to take responsibility for unending errors created by this administration. Protecting North Carolinians’ private information shouldn’t be a part of the governor’s political blame game.”

He'll be whining that the NC press is out to get him by cocktail hour.
