"Brilliant as a Democrat"
Posted on 02/28/2004 11:45:11 AM PST by Bob Eimiller
Democrats are always considered "intellectuals" the media brands them all that way...hell JFK could read a whole novel in 2 hours.. Jimmy Carter was a "Brilliant" Nuclear engineer... He was just surprised when the Soviet Union invaded Afganistan... but he was really BRILLIANT" because, he said "Now I understand..." and that was "Brilliant". Bill Clinton a "BRILLIANT" Rhodes scholar... he never graduated from Oxford ...but....Bubba was so smart he could "COMPARTMENTALIZE" eveything, even his own troubles and still be a "Brilliant" decison maker.. a little aside, the only Rhodes Scholarships awarded tend go to the "Brilliant" far left of the political spectrum because they're obviously the only ones "brilliant" enough to "qualify".
and...HILLARY!!! Now boy is She ever "BRILLIANT"!!! She was on the very top of the list of the 100 smartest lawyers in the WHOLE damn country! Why that bastion for legal excellence..the Rose Law Firm in that Cosmopolitan metropolis in Little Rock would have just been another jerk water firm if it wasn't for her incredible "Brilliance"!
I guess ALL Democrats are "BRILLIANT" ..the only ones that the media aren't raving about being in the "brilliant category are the "crazy" ones like the "would be "BRILLIANT" DOCTOR Howard Dean... but he couldn't win so lets call him crazy instead of "brilliant"...although he IS really "Brilliant too!!
Aren't they all... DemocRATS that is... ask the NY Times or the Boston Globe or the Washington Post..or CBSNBCABCCNNMSNBC...
Remember how dumb Ronald Reagan was.. and Eisenhauer, "what a dummy" all he could do was play golf...and Gerald Ford..why he couldn't walk up and down stairs...he was hit in the head too many times playing football at Michigan...and Dan Quale...what a dummy..He couldn't even spell Potato (or is it Potatoe? hmmm well I'm only a Republican..give me a break) NOW we have that really DUMB Fighter pilot who can't talk properly... They wonder if he even can spell "W" He always lacked "GRAVITAS" didn't he?
The whole thing is CRAZY!!! oops scratch that..that's Howard Dean. Hmmm I wonder if Al Gore really got lost at Camp David? NAH ..the NY Times didn't tell us he did ..so he didn't "...he must be "BRILLIANT" too.. hell, he is supposed to be president... the NY Times says so...all the time, after all he IS a Brilliant Democrat.
Just wait until that "BRILLIANT" yet compassionate "war hero" John F. Kerry showcases his obvious "brilliance" in the presidential campaign. His anti-war protests were "BRILLIANT" and when he debates that dull dumb "W" the whole country will recognize his wonderful "Brilliance". His "Brilliance" will protect us from terrorism, just watch! Forget the notion that "W" has been defeating terrorism on every front. Prove it!!! Prove that the terrorists aren't just taking a rest.... and that's why we haven't had an attack in this country since the two in NY City and the Pentagon 8 months after the "Brilliant" Bill Clinton waged his aggressive war against terrorism... The WTC buildings didn't fall down in 1993 did they... and the USS Cole didn't sink! Did it? What a "Brilliant" administration!
We need to bring "Brilliance" back to the White House and remember John F. Kerry is a Democrat and obviously VERY "Brilliant"!!
Do you understand what I mean??? You do ..don't you?
Yeah Mayor I did... I hope George H.W. Doesn't catch something... I hope he washed his hands right away.
Very good article BTW!!
good responses also.
Talk to ya soon.
Thanks Rus.. Talk soon
The statement noted that the strict time constraints and warning light will stifle his long winded intellectual style...
See...? The common "down home" simplistic style of George W. Bush is an advantage over the "Brilliance" of DemocRAT Kerry in the "unfair" agreed upon debate rules.
"Brilliant as a Democrat"
I watched part of C-SPAN's re-airing of one of the 2000 debates between George W. Bush and Al Gore and realized that President Bush is actually good at debating. I think he has improved considerably and is even more confident and self-assured.
The media will not find it so easy this time to cast aspersions, create doubt, or wordsmith their way to a win for F'n. He intones and drones and flicks his forked tongue which has white, congealed saliva that viewers can't ignore.
The only way F'n will pull off any points in a debate is if he changes his personality and I don't think he's going to be able to do that in less than a week. (Besides, he most likely wonders why the peons, shove-its and scumbags he wants to rule are so blind to his intelligence and glittering wisdom and doesn't think he needs to change anything.) One of my sisters is a semi-liberal and even she cannot stand his mannerisms, so I'm encouraged about the outcome of the debates.
Living proof of what happens when donkeys breed with sheep, you get a species that is too dumb to think beyond their own pasture.
The North East elitist arrogance is obvious... BUT we must remember...John F. Kerry is not only a HERO, he has more decorations in 4 months and 12 days than any American soldier in history!!!! he's an absolutely brilliant...."hero"!!!
I've said the same thing for years - 'brilliance' and 'genius' are so overused these days that they are devoid of practical meaning.
Basically when you see someone being hailed as 'brilliant,' what the person making the remark is really saying is 'they think the same way I do.' That's all - nothing more, nothing less.
When I was at law school I heard that Clinton had been 'brilliant' in bringing bargaining chips to the table on a matter that was being debated at the time. I suggested that bargaining chips that you don't care much about isn't evidence of 'brilliance,' but rather a pretty standard negotiation tactic.
It's usually covered in the first few pages of any book on negotiation tactics.
Brilliant? Nope.
I worked in 2 NYC law firms and I would see people hailed for their brilliance and genius literally because they could read and understand the instruction manual.
I developed a policy when I entered the work force: I wouldn't accept any compliments like that. If I was hailed as being a genius because I could change the margins on MS Word, I would just dismiss the remark and make it clear I didn't accept it.
After all, when I looked at all the dummies hailed as brilliant and geniuses, I didn't want to be associated with them. :-)
Besides the NY Times will accept any word answers he selects.
Not necessarily. I usually reserve that comment for people who think of things I have not. If someone says somrthing I thought of I usually say, "I was thinking the same thing."
Hey... Now Barak Obama is "Brilliant" too
This is still MSM Valid
