Just about anyone would be better.

Free Software is first and foremost a political movement. It would be better to have someone at the helm who isn't totally inept at navigating media and politics.

I sincerely doubt that.

[Tongue in cheek] Someone completely inept at navigating media and politics is perhaps the most apt choice possible given the general FOSS user experience.

Literally some 15 yr old speaking in Eastern European lecture halls “I think free software would make the world better” is a better spokesperson.

How would a 15 year old in Eastern Europe have the opportunity to perv on women in tech in the US? Isn't that sort of the GNU brand? That and shitty docs.

I never implied he would've had the opportunity.

I should've elaborated, I meant a 15 year old traveling to eastern European lecture halls to blah blah blah GNU would be better than a 30 yr retired, water bucket showering, absent minded professor-like toe jam muncher.

Why specifically in Eastern Europe though?

Do you really need to think on why or do you believe they will just come out and say they are racist. The construction of even a foo would be a better bar pretty much implies that foo is in some way diminutive. Example even Gilbert Gottfried would be a better basket ball player than that <currently unpopular player>

I just decided to reply charitably.
