You never fail to let me down.
Who's "you"?

For the record, I think there are far more "czars" than necessary in this administration and prior. So don't put me into a slot so quickly.

You are either missing my point or deliberately obfuscating it. My point is, why are there people protesting "czars" when they could be protesting healthcare? If they weren't called "czars," I doubt we'd see people holding up signs saying "too many Presidential appointments!!!!"

They are protesting "czars" not because of the number of Presidential appointments, but because they are incorrectly connecting the "czar" title with Socialism/Communism, and many media pundits are taking advantage of that misunderstanding.

I don't think you could argue too much with that, whatever political flavor you happen to prefer.
