Rubio's four official jobs titles are not just burdensome -- they are incongruent with one another.

For starters, the role of national security adviser is akin to being an air traffic controller; this person is tasked with ensuring that all national security interests and perspectives are fairly represented for presidential decision-making. It's hard to fathom how Rubio can reconcile his responsibilities at the State Department and the NSC, as leading both essentially requires him to act as player and referee at the same time.

There is also no telling what to expect from his role at USAID, where there is a desperate need for expert leadership to redress the carnage from the agency's likely unlawful destruction. And, saving the strangest for last, running the National Archives plainly has no connection whatsoever to Rubio's overwhelming foreign policy duties.

I have mixed feelings about this style of sober editorial that tries to honestly wrestle with how the monkey is smearing feces all over its cage. "Look, he's got it in his hair! HIS HAIR! And I'm starting to suspect he does not intend to clean it up."
