Begala: President Bush 'a High-Functioning Moron'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/25/2008 8:00:15 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What is it with Democrats and their grotesque slurs upon the intelligence of their political rivals? Last week it was Charles Rangel calling Sarah Palin "disabled." Tonight on CNN, Paul Begala called President Bush a "high-functioning moron."

Begala was on an Anderson Cooper-led panel with Republican Ed Rollins and CNN's Gloria Borger to discuss the state of the possible federal financial bailout. Cooper took the first shot at the president, analogizing his performance in this crisis to that during Hurricane Katrina.

ANDERSON COOPER: Watching the president last night give that speech, it was like watching him in Jackson Square in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I mean, he did not seem to be there.

In the America I grew up in, this clown would never appear on television again and his political consulting career would be finished.

I saw a reporterette on CNN say that she heard that the Republican representative in the discussions tonight was not authorized to really debate. She said she got that from Barney Frank and now every one is running with that like that is gold. Good Grief. The reporters today are like school children.

There is no longer any doubt as to the debilitating nature of BDS, or “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. Here is a perfectly, eh, average former Clinton adviser, reduced to a babbling, delusional, paranoid failure of a man. Of course, he was a failure even when Clinton was in office, being reduced to absurd dissembling and equivocation in efforts to cover-up the law breaking and sexual predation of his Presidential employer.

The man needs an “intervention” by his friends, before he achieves complete irrelevancy. Either that or he just figgin get over it. Bush will soon join Clinton in the status of ex-presidency, but my guess is, there will be no “Pardongate” for G W Bush.

Easy response - Begala a low-functioning moron.

To comprehend the hysteria of the left, one must realize that their age-old standby’s (Social Security will be bankrupted, your mom and pop will be thrown in the street, etc.), none of those are working. Worse yet, the Conservatives have what the Liberals always thought they owned - a smart, female candidate who can spar with the best of the opposition. They are literally flummoxed and punching like a palooka with a bag over her/his head.

Now, oh Satan help us, Bill Clinton is endorsing McCain. Oh Shi-ite!

Paul(”The Forehead”)Begala makes James(”The Louisiana Lizard”) Carville look civilized by comparison.

The words, “slander”, “libel”, and “treason” have no meaning in America.

To liberals, neither do the words "respect," "courtesy" or "patriotism." Begala is so low that if he sat on a cigarette paper his legs would dangle off the edge. He's perfect Brownshirt material.

Re “This clown”. Smarter than Begala: Emmet Kelly; Clarabelle, Mr. Bluster, Pee-Wee Herman; the Munsters, esp. Al Lewis; Jerry Lewis; Bonzo the Chimp; The Marx Brothers; The Ritz Brothers (that’s stretching things a bit); Abbott and Costello; Laurel and Hardy; anything on the X-Files esp. Fluke Man; and Bill Clinton’s dog, Socks.

I think Begala once starred in “Not of This Earth” or was he that giant turd in the movie “Tourus”?

Yet Bush is President of the United States and 99.85% of the American public hasn’t even heard Bugallah. Go figure...

Well, Mr Forehead,

Please tell us all how it feels to know that you’ve been defeated over and over and over again by this “high functioning moron.” He’s beaten you like a red-headed step child!

I mean, after all, how incredibly inept and stupid must one be to continuously lose again and again and again to President Bush, the “high functioning moron.”

I guess that would make you, and all your ilk, “low functioning morons” or maybe even “malfunctioning morons” wouldn’t it?

Face it, little paulie, you’re the lowest scum of the earth.

Have a nice day,

Mark

Poor Paul,

I sat next to Begalia in several classes at the University of Texas. I often wondered how he got in, much less passed any classes. Austin is of course, LIBERAL. But at least some of the libs seem intelligent. Poor Paul never did. I had to explain something to him at least once every lecture. Even then I was never sure he understood what was going on.

I've got as many problems with President Bush as any truly Conservative member of this forum has- but this sort of trash is utterly disgusting.

Better a H-FM, than a L-FA. That’s all I’m sayin’.
