"Bush is hardly a moron...Morons are not usually so successful in getting what they want"

[kpete]

QUOTE OF THE DAY....From Andrew Tobias, responding to Jon Stewart's characterization of George Bush as a moron:

"Bush is hardly a moron. He wanted the rich — in particular the oil guys — to do well and they have (phenomenally well). He promised to appoint more Justices like Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia and he did. He didn't want to work terribly hard and he hasn't. He wanted to show that government can't do things very well, and he has. Morons are not usually so successful in getting what they want."

Well, OK. I guess I'll have to think of something else to yell at the TV set then.

1. getting what you want doesn't prove brilliance.........

it just proves cunning and family connections.

2. Most morons dont have Darth Vader working

the dark side for them either.

3. Of course, having crime bosses like Cheney, Poppy . . . and pretty much most of corporate America

on one's side proves to be advantageous in empirical quests.

4. Everything you've described...

...sounds like a spoiled rotten baby having a tantrum.

And whose parents are enablers.
