My understanding is that he was CFO, which is not really a policy position, and that his background before that was in fundraising.
I'll stand by my point that that's not a job for the most brilliant person in the world.
Not saying they are low brow or bad jobs, more knocking the suggestion that he is so outrageously brilliant. (Note: brilliant and tenacious/industrious are two different things.)
Also, he telecommutes for work, only going to DC, where the Public University his think tank is affiliated with is, once a month. That kind of flexibility explains how he can also blog/plug himself.
