I read at least one article that Kushner was responsible for the Swine Flu Obama comparison. The reason it's important is that it's difficult to have a thought that stupid. Kushner appears to have them regularly and has confidence in his terrible instincts as well as a history of ignoring experts. Even when he bought that vanity newspaper he wouldn't take the advice of veteran journalists and fired some of them. He thought it was a good idea to purchase a vanity building on 5th avenue for twice what it's worth and was probably surprised that a fancy building can fail to generate enough income to service debt if you overpay for it by double. The public is now aware of his legendary incompetence, but it's a shame we don't get to hear him grilled on some of his stupid decisions because he's the soft-spoken guy behind the scenes. I'd love to see him do a media tour with really well prepared interviewers. It's an absolute shambles.
