Bush: Stupid

As much as I’m tempted to do another editorial about Bill O’Reilly in which I discuss how his ignorance, provincialism and plain old curmudgeonliness have finally bitten him in his racist ass; and as much as I’d like to explain that, while O’Reilly may not have intended to make racist remarks – in fact, while he may have been attempting to denounce racism – his incredulity at the fact that black people are – wait for it – people belies his very own deep seated racism; and despite the fact that I’d love to talk about the way that FOX News (I just laughed when I wrote that. “News.” That’s rich!) has proved once again, in its defense of O’Reilly, that it is a refuge for right wing nutjobs, propaganda hucksters and liars (by, among other things, running ticker items stating “O’Reilly Taken Out of Context” and “CNN Gets Suckered by Website”), I’m going to leave commentary on that issue to the many other “left wing” (i.e., grounded in reality) websites currently covering the story.

Instead, let’s talk about President Bush, okay?

At an education-themed photo op in New York City yesterday, surrounded by grade school aged children who have already learned verb-subject agreement, Dubya proudly stated to the press, “Childrens do learn.”

(The extra “s,” presumably, is for the “shitter” the country is being flushed down by the President.)

This is a fitting answer to his 2000 query, “Is our children learning?”

I know it isn't news that the President is an idiot. Still, it’s odd to have so many examples to cite as proof – with fresh, new ones sprouting up like weeds all the time.

When your legacy is one of lying, corruption, useless wars, disinformation and civil rights violations, poor grammar becomes one of your good points.
