Zbigniew: 'Ignorant' Americans Susceptible to Inexperienced Candidates With 'Simplistic Slogans'

You mean, like the Americans who made president someone who two years before had been a state senator and ran on "hope and change"?

Seriously, just who did Zbigniew Brzezinski have in mind when he said this:

"We have a large public that is very ignorant about world affairs, very susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record, but mouth appealing slogans."

Who was Zbigniew Brzezinski taking a shot at when he said Americans are “susceptible to simplistic slogans by candidates who appear out of nowhere, have no track record”?

Ping to Today show list.
