Bush dumb, Gore bright?

Senator Edwards reminds me of the pod people in Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

[Torie]

Yep, he is thoroughly frightening to me. But then I know he is a smoothie trial lawyer, which colors my judgment. That renders me unable to be objective about Edwards, ever, and all my comments about him should be ignored. Just a head's up.

[jwalsh07]

Edwards is making friends in Hyannisport with his stance on Pickering but something tells me the rank and file in NC are not gonna like it too much.

"You've got to admit that Bush is a bit thick, though?"

And why, exactly, do you say that?

[Dick Bachert]

I can't get the term "lockbox" out of my head. He said it like it was some sacred relic. What a moron.

[patricia]

We are CONSTANTLY being bombarded with people [Sorkin, TV 'guests', etc.] giving their opinions ... which quite frankly, I don't give a @#$% what they think ... because I have no respect for them, much less their insipid opinions.

[antaresequity]

We heard from Baldwin and Sorkin today...and I think I caught a thread that said Daschle was falling in line behind the President.

I think you will soon find that the Dem's (at the direction of Begala and Carville) will be foisting there hollywood hacks in full force to attempt to undermine President Bush's poll numbers, while not making Daschle appear to be the source of an attack.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled...the non-elected leftist elite are going to be ratcheting up the rhetoric big time through the mid-term.

Just my thought on it..

"I can't get the term "lockbox" out of my head. He said it like it was some sacred relic. What a moron."

Gore, like other liberals, use such terms to fool the the great unwashed as they don't have a rational excuse for their failed policy. To equate Gore as an intellect is the same as to call Charlie Manson a humanitarian.

Bing Bing Bing!

The demo-clowns that have to face the voters will hide behind some "non-partisan" BS and get the media-mouths to spew the sewage.
No splash-back on them.

[Naspino]

After this Sorkin comment and NBC's allowance of it. I took NBC off my TV channel list. No more NBC for me -- it joins the ranks of CNN.

[connectthedots]

What is so hard about passing the Bar exam? I know some pretty stupid attorneys, and if they could pass it, I bet I could study for it and in three months pass it with plenty of room to spare. It can't be that difficult.

[Khepry]

Most of you posters here take great delight in knocking Gore, but ignore the fact that we still have a dim bulb for President.

If Gore's a 90 watt bulb, what is Bush? A 100 watt, maybe 110 watt. But the problem is this nation of 280 million needs the best and brightest, but both the political parties are nominating rich men's mediocre sons. Where are the 150 watt and 175 watt powerhouse like Jeferson, Adams, Washington, Lincoln or Roosevelt, with the vision, intelligence and wisdom to truly map a country's destiny far into the future?

The political system is locked in medeocrity where we gave a sigh a relief if Reagan did not muff the facts at a press conference, if George Senior could speaks two complete sentences in sequence, if Clinton could keep his pants on at work and if Bush Jr. doesn't offend another major religion or country by calling for another crusade against another evil-doer whom he just learned about in his Britannica Junior Atlas.

None of these guys are bright or gifted. The current political parties and system have produced substandard candidates on a consistent basis. America is broke and the current crop of Alicia Silverstone politicians are as Clueless as a Valley Girl in heat. The only decision left to the voter is to choose between Dumb and Dumber.

Out of curiosity, who would you consider to be sufficiently bright or gifted and what is your measure of their brightness/giftedness?

[uglybiker]

'Here's my f---ing resume, what do you got?'

"...if Bush Jr. doesn't offend another major religion or country by calling for another crusade against another evil-doer whom he just learned about in his Britannica Junior Atlas."

I bet that sounded really profound in your head....But, to the thinking world it just sounds stupid.

[razorback-bert]

A tidbit I found:

Gore's lowest grade of D came in a natural sciences course, while his top grades were an A in French and English, an A in Visual and Environmental Studies

[altair]

<sarcasm>Because he's a smart schmuck?</sarcasm>

Oh and the list in post #2 left out one of the best. The first time Algore was being shown around the White House he didn't recognize any of the faces of the portraits on the walls and asked who they were. Rush had a fun time with that, as I recall.

So who is dumber, Algore, or the people who think he's smart?

[altair]

Thanks for posting that. I was trying to remember the details of that incident. It was fun listening to Rush poke fun at him for it.

[altair]

The first time Algore was being shown around the White House

Oops. My mistake. Dick Bachert in post #23 gets it right.
