Begala: President Bush 'a High-Functioning Moron'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/25/2008 8:00:15 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

What is it with Democrats and their grotesque slurs upon the intelligence of their political rivals? Last week it was Charles Rangel calling Sarah Palin "disabled." Tonight on CNN, Paul Begala called President Bush a "high-functioning moron."

Begala was on an Anderson Cooper-led panel with Republican Ed Rollins and CNN's Gloria Borger to discuss the state of the possible federal financial bailout. Cooper took the first shot at the president, analogizing his performance in this crisis to that during Hurricane Katrina.

ANDERSON COOPER: Watching the president last night give that speech, it was like watching him in Jackson Square in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. I mean, he did not seem to be there.

The words, “slander”, “libel”, and “treason” have no meaning in America.

I can't really argue with that because Begala would know, after all he sees himself in the mirror every morning so he must know what a high functioning moron looks like.

Begala thinks MoveOn.org strategy of insult and lies is effective. We’ll see.

Every day it becomes clearer that W has worked tirelessly in the best interests of the American people. Too bad he is so alone in Washington.

Begala is the poster child for today’s sissified liberal male. Bush would break this weasle in half.

When I first heard the phrase ‘liberalism is a mental disorder’ I thought it was just a catchy put down. I now understand it is descriptive of a true mental health epidemic.

Begala you scumbag - just think about what that makes you, Carville, John Kerry, Albore, Bob Shrum, and all the other Democrats who have been beaten like a drum by George W. Bush in the past 14 years? From Texas to across the USA, all of you worthless socialist Democrats have been LOSERS while George W. Bush managed to be elected twice as Governor of Texas and twice as POTUS. So before you cast slurs at our President, Mr. Begala, consider that whatever label you stick on Pres. Bush, YOU, Paul Begala are only worth about 0.000001% of it.

Yes, but he meant it in the very best sense of the phrase “high-functioning moron.” Liberals are tolerant people, after all. Just ask them.

Begala is nothing but a huckster political operative. Who cares what he thinks about anything? I mean, other than CNN, apparently.
