United Stupids of America: Bush Supporters Tried to Read Ballot, But Their Lips Got Tired
The Richmond [VA] Times-Dispatch ^ | November 12, 2004 | A. Barton Hinkle

Posted on 11/11/2004 9:23:03 PM PST by quidnunc

"How Can 59,054,087 People Be So DUMB?" – November 4 headline, London's Daily Mirror.

"How do you make a rational political pitch to people who have put that part of their brain on hold? No wonder Bush won … . Anything that shrinks the ranks of the clueless would be helpful." – Bob Herbert, in The New York Times.

"The election results reflect the decision of the right wing to cultivate and exploit ignorance in the citizenry … . Ignorance and bloodlust have a long tradition in the United States, especially in the red states." – Novelist Jane Smiley, in Slate

"By any objective standard, you had to be spectacularly stupid to support Bush … . If you voted for Bush, we accept that we have to share the country with you … . But don't demand our respect." – Cartoonist and columnist Ted Rall.

Deer Daily Mirror, Bob Herbert, Jane Smiley, Ted Rall, and all y'all,

Us here in Bush Country sorry. We sorry for being so dumb, voting for dumb President Bush. We know we not so smart. But ain't nothing we can do about it. We try hard. Honest injun! Stay up on current events. Watch Fox News and "Entertainment Tonite." Read Weekly World News — and not just stuff about Bat-Boy, neither. But we no match for likes of you in brains department. Heck, we barely just learn to walk upright. Grandparents' knuckles still all red and swole up.

But like we say, it not our fault. Must be something in Americans What Got Disabilities Act about having case of stupids, right?

Good article, but I think it would have been better if he went with the "dumb southern cowboy" linguistic structure over the "dumb caveman" linguistic structure.

Oh and quid, more people would RTFA if you posted the whole thing...just say'n...

oh this is really good.

He even writes stupidly at parts to get his point across. I love his mention of the fact that people who did not finish HS go for Kerry.
