October 14, 2004Thw Wisdom Of A Few Stupid PeopleJonah Goldberg has written an interesting column about the wisdom of including a few dummies in the decision-making process.
On the whole, I agree with you, Jonah. But having served up the lob, please excuse me if I indulge in the obvious slam: You're right, but they shouldn't be made Commander-in-Chief! Posted by rickheller at October 14, 2004 04:47 PMComments
Dittos, Rick! Posted by: Erasmus at October 14, 2004 11:45 PMGood point, Rick. By the way, not to kick Bush when he is down, but his demeanor during the debates reminds me of some of the southern televangelists, such as Kenneth Copeland. (I sometimes enjoy watching the televangelist shows; they are quite entertaining.) As someone who grew up in the South, Bush's way of speaking and mannerisms really strike me as southern (maybe that's obvious since he is from Texas). I think this is one reason why he strikes such a responsive chord in the South but doesn't do so well among northerners. Posted by: Marc Schneider at October 15, 2004 10:03 AMOff topic, but... In my teens (pre cable days!) it was locally popular to get inebriated and enjoy the meandering inanities of the Reverend Gene Scott on late late TV. He was particularly funny when he wore his pith helmet and safari jacket, and his regular glasses over his sunglasses. Posted by: Tully at October 15, 2004 01:04 PM |
