When I was growing up, my parents taught me that if you want people to think you’re smart, just shut up. They didn’t encourage me to shut up completely – maybe they should have – but the lesson was: never talk about things you know nothing about and people might think you’re smart.....
.....For several years now, the elites have been trying to fool us in believing that two people, one on the left and one on the right, are very smart people. On the left, we have the President and on the right, we have Charles Krauthammer. We are being led to believe how smart they are but if we’ve learned anything in the past year, it is that both of them may be a lot of things but smart isn’t one of them. Both appear not to have learned this lesson: if you want people to think you’re smart just shut up.
In July 2009, in trying to defend Henry Louis Gates, President Obama started out by saying that he didn’t know the situation and that he hasn’t seen all the facts and yet in the same breath, he went on to accuse the Cambridge police of being stupid. If the President was really as smart as we are led to believe, he would have just done what smart people do: shut up!
This brings me to Mr. Smarty Pants Charles Krauthammer. Yes I call him Mr. Smarty Pants because that’s all Mr. Krauthammer is. Anyone that can go on a marathon degrading someone he knows nothing about is anything but smart.

So he doesn’t care for Governor Palin. Who cares what he thinks? He gets to have an opinion just like you and I do. Why people get their undies in such a wad over what another person states as their OPINION is beyond me. Relax, he’s just one man with an opinion.
CK is not a patriot. CK is a fraud. He should be teaching Darwinism in some European University. He is a disgrace of an American.
One big problem is FNC keeps sporting one idiot ruling class pundit after another, giving this clown a stage.
Clearly the free market can do better.
Wait, reporting news from the MSM is not a free market.
You beat me to it by a couple posts. I fear there will be a new world record of wadded-up panties leading up to the 2012 primaries/election.
Everybody is entitled to an opinion, whether it is right or wrong.
I have a great deal of respect for Charles Krauthammer and feel he is right about 95% of the time.
I disagree with him sometimes.
As far as Sarah Palin goes, I would rather she not run for president for a number of reasons, none of which has anything to do with her IQ or anything along those lines.
I feel that Palin is a very polarizing figure especially among so called blue dog democrats who voted for Ronald Reagan. I also feel that independents are also split on Palin as well. Frankly, I think Palin is a much more effective campaigner and cheerleader for other conservative candidates running for office around the country. Palin can also deliver terrific speeches about the virtues, importance and compassion about true conservatism and its meaning in the lives of everyday Americans.
And inspite of the ever lessening influence of the main stream media that has done everything in its power to destroy Palin, she still remains a force to be reckoned with.
With a little more time and seasoning, I think Palin could be ready for prime time sometime in the future, just not now or in the very near future.
because he is not stating it as his opinion.
I like Sarah, Charles apparently does not. This does not make him stupid. It means he disagrees with me, which he is free to do.
Charles is a very accomplished individual despite a crippling disability. I continue to respect him.
“Mr. Krauthammer”
_________
Dr. Krauthammer, and he is entitled to an opinion.
He misdiagnosed and supports Obama.
He is a salient misogynist who ruined the GOP in Election 2010
with his bedmate, Toyko Rove.
Krauthammer has claimed to be an expert on "economy",
"electric cars","battery corrosion", etc., but
in fact his opinions have recently be proven usually wrong.
"Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt.
We attack ….for you. For you!!!!!!"
"Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain's VP. "
“I fear there will be a new world record of wadded-up panties leading up to the 2012 primaries/election.”
LOL. Do you know the current record?
Exactly. It does no service to Sarah Palin or the conservative movement or the need to get rid of Obama for rabid fanboy rants whenever there is public criticism of Palin’s potential candidacy.
Rover and Krauthammer were overshadowed by Palin, the tea party movement as well as the far left communist direction the democrats were leading the country in.
All these things taken together created the republican and conservative wave in the November midterms and thenk God for it.
Krauthammer obviously has never heard the saying:
It is better be silent and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.
cheerleader? but not quarterback? Yeah i get it.
