Brilliant woman solves california's problems

[chequita guevara]

I wasn't thinking so much of a dictatorship as rule by a freakin' moron.

[BlackCat]

Uhmn, that sounds like Pol Pot. Btw, being a freaking moron doesn't mean that you aren't able to manipulate people.

[Imran Siddiqui]

(ie, the Bush Administration )

[BlackCat]

Yeah, but the difference is that the US people voloteerly elected Bush. Pol Pot just killed those that didn't agree (and some more, but who counts)

Well, I can't say that Pot's policies were evidence of a brilliant mind, and like Shrub, they were driven more by politics than reality. I don't see any evidence, however, that he was as stupid as our last president.

I assume you're trying to bait me into defending Pol Pot, but I'm on record consistently not doing so. Just because the anarchist called himself a communist for a few years doesn't mean I have to defend him.

[Straybow]

She sounds like a communist to me. "Take the land, becuz it's, like, free, and grow food for everybody, becuz food is good."

Vegetable trees.

Freakin' vegetable trees. I hope this is some sort of Sokalesque street theater.

Bush. *please*. You make liberals look stupid by saying Bush is that dumb. It's almost as bad as all the Hitler comparisons. No wonder no one takes liberals seriously.

Bush graduated from an ivy league college after all... He isn't stupid. I'd say he's of average intelligence.

As for this woman.... I'd say below average.

[Thoth]

Both are idiots. Bush's papy's money bought his degree. This woman is just plain stupid.

Who's a liberal? And Bush may have gone to an ivy league school, but all that means is the school was founded before the revolution. He graduated with a C average, and no one has ever claimed the man was intelligent. He's failed at every single job he's ever held.

BY all means I wouldn't call Bush the smartest man alive, but he did get elected president. While daddy's money and name recognition helped, those aren't the only reason he won. He played on a lot of people's fears and hopes (even if his advisors recommended it, he still had to choose to do it) He wasn't a complete idiot. Complete idiots whould have lost the election. Let alone winning TWICE.

Che, did your 'extreme intellect' help you get elected?

[MikeH]

He had a brilliant campaign team and enough Homer Simosonesque everyman charm to get by.

[rah]

An idiot couldn't have done it. Think Sara Palin.

[Japher]

Don't count her out yet.

[rah]

WHy not. The only thing she has going for her is a **** and a pair that aren't sagging that bad yet.
Give it four more years, and that attraction will have walked out the door.

The repugs haven't shown alot of brains lately but you have to admit that McCain was about as good as they could get at that point. The fact that under the conditions that some thought he actually had a chance for a while showed he was probably the best candidate they could have found. No, even If Palin is around 4 years from now, she'll quickly fade away in the early primaries. Even repugs aren't stupid enough to believe she could win. The only exception could be if the economy turns around and Obama fulfills all of his promises and looks like a 101% lock. Then the repugs might consider throwing her out as a sacrificial lamb because nobody else would want to waste the money.
