He knew how to act like a pseudo-intellectual, that's all I saw. No one but a complete idiot wannabe would have been fooled by him.
But I suppose the "complete idiot wannabe" class of pseudo-intellectuals forms a pretty sizable demographic, and quite a few of them have high incomes, unfortunately. Heavily concentrated in the blue precincts of our great land.
Charlie always came off to me as a steeped-in-PBS, overly earnest, milquetoast. The kind of gooey emoter behind such memes as “reach out to.”
I might also suggest that a lot of these “complete idiot wannabe” pseudo-intellectuals hold Columbia, Harvard, or Yale degrees, and think they got their ‘ticket’.
Bush is a good example....a complete idiot (with both a Harvard and Yale degree). Rose? He was a Duke guy. We probably have a million of these idiots walking around the US today, with fake accomplishments, minimal intelligence/common sense, and a wannabe degree.
