How many of these simpletons-who labor under the misimpression that sarcasm and condescension can somehow serve as substitutes for genuine knowledge and a classical education-have actually contributed to the progress of our nation?
How many vile despots have they been responsible for deposing?
How many Americans owe their personal prosperity to people like Keith Morrison from 'Dateline', or Bryant Gumbel, who's last known job was doing clown impersonations for passersby near Columbus Circle?
To put things into perspective, let me just conclude my thoughts by giving you a brief list of the slime balls who were retired from public life courtesy of Ronald Wilson Reagan.
-Mariam Mengistu
-Jean-Claude Duvalier
-Daniel Ortega
-Jarulzelksi, Neto, Ceausescu, Hoxha, etc., etc.
I could go on ad infinitum, but I don't really see what the point would be.
The point would be lost on the nimrods who serve as segment producers for the "Nightly News" dreck that's shoveled down our collective throat, every single weeknight, 24/7, 365, each and every day, every single year, year in and year out.
That picture of Dan Rather posing smiling with his arm around Castro says it all for me.
