Great, another 9/11 "truther," just what we need! "Renowned" by whom? He's right about Dear Leader being over his head, but wrong about everything else. "...first intellectual president we've had in many years..." I thought President Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar? Wasn't President George H.W. Bush Director of Central Intelligence, Ambassador to China, a Yalie, etc.? Doesn't President George W. Bush have a Harvard MBA? Wasn't President Carter a nuclear submarine officer? Those all sound pretty "intellectual" to me, but I guess I'm not a has-been ex-pat hack writer in France.

[babble-on]

a kook

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Statement: "It's a pity because he's the first intellectual president we've had in..."

Response: Vidal can still demonstrate some sharp sarcastic wit!

[ElayneJ]

Has any one of these “intellectuals” said exactly how President Bush violated the Constitution? IMO, they have no idea - they’re just going with the pack mentatlity, no matter how intellectual they’re supposed to be.

[Gay State Conservative]

"He's incompetent."

He's worse than that.He's an empty suit.

"He will be defeated for re-election."

Not if you scumbags get to choose our nominee again like you did last year.

Oh, shut up already Mr. Vidal. Obama wanted the job and now he’s got it. The poor, poor kid. Pfft. This man is delusional.

[Tempest]

How on earth does such a blatantly biased jackass receive the title of “renowned historian”

[eclecticEel]

You’re a freak Gore (much like the other famous one), but I hope you’re absolutely correct on your prediction.

[HiTech RedNeck]

By intellectual he means Marxist.

[Steven Tyler]

There you go again-equating Book intelligence with leadership

[Hodar]

Obama is the first ‘intellectual’ in the office in years?
Generals in charge of thousands of lives, tell the CIC ‘lies’, and the CIC believes them?
Conservatives are ‘haters’ and the only way to keep them in place is to terrify them?

Yes, he’s renowned, in the same manner as any mentally disturbed elitest considers himself ‘renowned’. What a pompous, self-righteous, ignorant and arrogant twit.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Shhhh. We want them to keep thinking Sarah Palin is the suicide bomb.

[avacado]

I never did care for the Vidal Sassoon hair care products. Way too metrosexual for my liking.

[4rcane]

the myth of obama intelligence was formed from the book bill ayers wrote for him. Bill Ayers is a good writer, we give him that, but Obama is not

[pacpam]

I’ll take common sense over Obama’s intellectual prowess any second of time.

[himno hero]

Thats the best I’ve see today, just about spit my coffee out!

[Jack Hammer]

Vidal never met a communist he couldn’t love; if even he prognosticates that Obama’ll lose the election in 2012, then Obama’s toast.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Vidal Sassoon isn’t Gore Vidal. Too bad, or we could make a running joke that this is the gossip that Gore heard in the beauty parlor.
