“...but there is a lot of convoluted crap in there”

That’s a word for it. Maybe they just didn’t give it a good headline.

I mean, it seemed to me the guy said that the stereotype is that all our presidents since LBJ, ALL of the them have been “Buffoons” who command no respect in Europe and the American public are the mad people who elected them. I guess he means mad in the sense of crazy, not angry. Already he’s missing the point. (I actually don’t think the Brits ever say mad to mean angry, but I could be wrong.)

But, our author reassures us, this is incorrect, because in 2008 we elected the “incredibly cool, incredibly smart, incredibly articulate leader” Barack Hussein Obama mmmm mmmm mmmm.

BUT, and this is a big BUT, next year the mad people might beat out the sane (”sensible”) people and we might elect some religious maniac like Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann.

Oddly he doesn’t mention the weirdo Mitt Romney or the other religious maniac Rick Perry.

So, quite frankly, I’m underwhelmed with this fellow’s understanding of American politics. Or even of his own mind, because it seems pretty clear that his only dispute about the idea of us being a nation of maniacs led by a series of clowns is that it’s a stereotype, he seems convinced it’s the TRUTH.

Evidently if we don’t have a young, slim, good looking, LIBERAL President who went to Harvard and whose wife likes expensive clothes, we ain’t got sh*t.

But, it’s good you posted it, because every thing like this that we read only strengthens our resolve.
