Warning: Morfordite Alert!

[patriciaruth]

Speak for yourselves, ignoramus San Franciscans!

[Izzy Dunne]

esus thinks Dubya is "sort of a dink."

How does the divine Miss M know this?

[riri]

Or a Donny "Shriveled Soul" Rumsfeld.

This is the new mantra. Apparently, we need cheerleaders governing our country now.

Someone actually said to me, when I said I loved Cheney--"Ewww, that's like loving the grinch before he grew his heart" Any ideas what to say to these remarks?

[cripplecreek]

It allways amazes me how pieces like that overlook things like the oil for food scandal or the global crossing scandal.

[Old Lady]

What he is really saying: Edwards did not do well last night, so "it doesn't matter to most people."

The above letter was inadvertantly taken out of the post. I found it in my socks later.

"Let's be honest. Percentage-wise, few people in America really give much of a crap about what's going on in the hallowed halls of politics and power."

Hey, don't complain up there in San Francisco. How do you think it is that PIAPS and the Sink Emporer are not in Federal prison today?

[patriciaruth]

I didn't know you were descended from Grinches! How fascinating.

[hushpad]

whereas Middle America is a scattershot conglomeration of the politically apathetic and the actively disenfranchised, full of people far too busy with their lives and kids and jobs and zoning out on "Fear Factor" and "Monday Night Football" to care about following the elitist, ever dire dramas playing out on the nation's gilded stages. <<


Says who, you sniveling POS? Like the morons and deviants of San Francisco have any awareness beyond whats going up their bountiful behinds.

Kerry Ad Falsely Accuses Cheney on Halliburton

[Unam Sanctam]

Democrats more and more have a class warfare, "soak-the-rich" rhetoric and a "business is evil" assumption that is reflected in this whole talismanic "Halliburton" thing. Frankly, I think it is a plus in an elected official that they had experience in the private sector and in running a for-profit company.

[StACase]

If this guy weren't such a sycophantic liberal weenie, I'd say he had a point. If I wrote the article, I would have said most Americans are interested in other things like their family, their jobs, their God and the Packers. But this guy chose to fly liberal colors with the usual crap that I've grown much too familiar with and accept as the staus quo.

[BenLurkin]

There is no way to speak intelligently with the dumbed down generation.

They are so ignorant they don't even know that they are ignorant. Their marxist indoctrination, on the other hand, has been VERY effective.

[marty60]

Evil Dumb Dums can't see further than their own nose. Halliburton is an American company, (not French or German) skerry's constant Anti-americanisms doesn't work. Hey SF, wake up and smell the defeat.

Send them to bed without their supper. I can't imagine anyone over 10 years old saying this.

[RexBeach]

Look, I'm just going to be blunt here: Morford is a maggot.

There. Now I feel better.

This came from a grown man, I kid you not.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

...if I really want to affect minds I should consider tempering or sanitizing my opinions for a more "moderate" mainstream readership, as if the nation was chock-full of opinionated, well-read, temperate thinkers ready to be gently informed of new ideas, when in fact this group is but a fraction, a sliver, far overshadowed and overpowered by the real majority in America: The detached. The disinterested. The intellectually lazy.

You know, I know its Morford, and the rest of the article is raises the same intellectually lazy, liberal chutzpah, but there is alot of truth to the above statement.
