Stupid is as Stupid Does

The latest crap is from FoxNews...that somehow Bush is smarter than Kerry.

How could this be? Well, FoxNews compares two IQ-like tests to qualify for two different branches of the US Armed Forces. I can't even imagine what kind of test that must be. So, going back to when each of the men were 22 years old, and taking nebulous percentile ratings from two different tests, Fox can claim:

While the two tests aren't perfectly comparable, Sailer says they provide no evidence that Kerry is smarter and that, if anything, Bush is smarter than Kerry.

Huh? This is why Republican supporters are so anti-intellectual, calling those of us who value intelligence "elitist" and "effete". Well, fuck y'all. How's that? At least people like me don't get tripped up on basic logic. And FYI, the "expert" that FoxNews quotes is actually a contributor to an extreme right-wing blog. Liberal media, indeed.

Let's try this, minus the political evocativeness: I have an Apple and an Orange. You can't really compare them because they're of different species...but if anything, an Orange is better!

Maybe the deluded, stomach-thinking dullards who plan on voting for Bush call the rest of us "barking moonbats" because when they hear clearly stated, properly pronounced, logical arguments, all they are capable of interpreting is Bark! Bark! Bark!

Bush isn't stupid, he's clumsy. He's not dumb, he just can't speak clearly. He's not retarded, he just doesn't get the larger world where what he accuses Kerry of is exactly the kind of thing he actually, historically, demonstrably done.

I can't wait til this election is over and Bush is gone from our lives.
