Cenk Uygur has a delightful
morning piece over at Huffington Post that is too irresistable to pass up.
Most of us have probably been gasping, screaming at television sets, scratching our heads, wishing that we could wrap our hands around some of these hacks that publicly profess their admiration for the intellect of this W fellow.
Cenk throws out a body-blow, putting to bed whatever illusions anyone may still have about our 'emperor's' wardrobe:
George Bush is the Arizona Cardinals. His team is terrible and he refuses to change any of his players. He doesn't have the personality suited for making necessary changes. Quickly adjusting to changing circumstances is not his forte, stubbornness is. Even if he had the inclination to make a change, he doesn't have the ability. He simply doesn't know what the hell he is doing.
We've been playing most of his speeches and press conferences on our radio show for the last three years. After having listened to him talk about the issues for all that time, there is no polite way to put this - the man is an imbecile.
He is a simpleton who does not grasp complicated circumstances. As sectarian strife between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds is ripping Iraq apart, he has never once mentioned the competing claims of those groups and explained how they affect our mission in Iraq. There is a good reason for that - he can't.
I'm confident that if a reporter surprised him tomorrow and asked him what the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite is, he would have no idea.
Even if you're a conservative or a Republican, do you really believe that the President has any idea what the difference between those warring factions are? That he might be able to tell you a little bit about their history and why they're fighting and what may be able to bring them together? That the President can muster up a cogent, intelligent response? I don't think you even believe that.
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.
Read the whole piece. Its what Kerry should have read during the first and last debate.
Bush has been exposed and he's nothing but an incompetent, simple-minded, thin-skinned, pawn. Sadly enough, one who was elected by 51 percent (with the help of Diebold) of the voters. Buyer's remorse anyone?
