A Bit More on Janet Yellen

All the collegial kudos, accolades, and praise for Janet Yellen are flowing in.  Everyone is quick to point out how well-qualified she is in order to, at least subconsciously, counter the fairly transparent campaign to ensure a woman got the job.  Truth is, she was qualified enough to get the job without the gender boost, but the gender obsessives on the left kicked into overdrive anyway, and ultimately undermined her by tainting her appointment with gender politics.

Nonetheless it is undeniable that Yellen is well-qualified in the sense that she has all the right credentials.  And that is why she will fail. 

She is a classic of the genre.  A hyper-credentialed academic with extensive experience within an institution that never doubts its own capability and that has never seen it own flaws.
