Huff Post: Bush makes Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar

This is a blog from Cenk Uygur, one of the hosts of the Young Turks, a liberal radio show on Sirius:

Look, this emperor hasn’t had any clothes on for a long time. Only our collective brainwashing and purposeful avoidance of the obvious has shielded us from reality. He keeps talking about evildoers and people who hate us for our freedom. He has the mental capacity of a third grader. And no matter how much of an apologist you are for this administration or how much you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, you know it in your heart. It’s crystal clear when you listen to him. The President is a dunce.

He makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar. At least Quayle could put together a sentence every once in awhile and didn’t make comical references to “the evil ones.”

Did anyone watch that Bush teleconference with the troops a couple of weeks ago? I don’t think Dan Quayle was ever that bad on his worst day. Is anyone paying attention? This guy can’t even put together a sentence in a scripted appearance in front of a friendly crowd. He was absolutely pathetic in the debates against Kerry. And did anyone hear him answer the sovereignty question? If not, please listen here.

For the love of God, call a spade a spade. How much cognitive dissonance does it take for the press to carry on this charade? The man isn’t bright, and you’re not doing yourself any favors by ignoring the obvious.

:crazy:

:shrug:

:evilfrown:

... to see how dumb he is.

:kick:

that went something like: George W Bush IS actually as Dumb as you made Danny out to be.

... I agree with every word!

:rofl:

Seriously, though, after reading the entire article I have to say it's one of the most optimistic ones I've read lately....and important, especially the point the author makes about balancing out TV with a liberal news show. I love this part....

"Television is the last stand of the conservative media machine. They held down the fort with a countless number of conservative talk shows and conservative hosts. They have shouted down and belittled the opposition. They have intimidated the rest of the press into thinking their view is the only mainstream view.

This is a house of cards. If just one good anti-administration show goes up on cable news, this house will come crumbling down."

It continues to amaze me that in the richest, most powerful nation in the world, a nation full to running over with colleges and with potential for greatness, that so many of its citizens are willfully ignorant. The response to realities like evolution and corrupt repukes is fingers in the ear, tightly closed eyes, and a little dance that says "lalala I can't hear you." Too many Americans, every day, prefer to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

it with an "e"...there is your difference.

of course Bush has so lowered the bar that
anyone can run for President now.
