Eisenhower noted in a very private entry of a personal journal during his command at SHAEF [Supreme Headquarters – Allied Expeditionary Force] in the runup to invading Normandy, “Is there no end to the stupidity?” It wasn’t the sole occasion for such sentiment, either in the political hallways of military command or the political hallways of the nation’s capitol. He was particularly frustrated at GOPsters’ failure to grasp his attempts at subtle clues on legislation: he didn’t wish to be bossy, but had ideas for the House and Senate leaders – the first time the GOP had both chambers in some time. Their dunderheaded craniums often failed to ‘get’ his inferred intent – too many years without practical practicing of the political craft left them obtuse to the third logarithm.
