Moron Bush
My beau rented a movie last night, "Thank You For Smoking". It was good. The senator was a little predictable (there must be machine somewhere in Hollywood that the Director can just pop a previously-stereotyped-by-Hollywood job title into: "Reporter with Moxy, Conflicted Mafia Killer, Senator With An Agenda" - and just say to whichever "Almost It Girl" actress, Italian actor, or William H. Macy is playing the role: " I want this with a little extra - or a little less - that's your range"), as was the boss, the reporter, the wife, the wife's boyfriend, the son, the teacher - but the main character was pleasantly not your typical conscienceless lobbyist, as we know real-life lobbyists to be, but the kind of lobbyist you could actually like. Maybe even respect a bit. And his lobbyist friends were okay, too. Fictional Americans as Real Americans were meant to be. Uh... portrayed. Um... by Hollywood.
Anyway, the movie ended and because the techno-lobe of my brain is smaller than a grain of sand, the television then came on unexpectedly and extra super loudly (the DVD player won't work unless there's a tape in the VCR and the television can suddenly take over the unholy trinity and assert itself as the boss of the brains of the other two) and there was George W. Bush saying, "All ah know is these are bad guys."
"All ah know is these are bad guys."
So, I turned to my beau and said, "He's either a moron or he thinks Americans are morons. Which is it, do you think?"
(I ask these questions, not always expecting an answer. Truth be told, I'm not sure I even asked this one out loud. I know I had a mini stroke when the tv flared/blared unexpectedly, so perhaps I only remember asking the question without having actually done it.)
Because, in my opinion, only either a genuine real life moron would say something so... so... moronic OR a guy who thinks everybody listening to him is a moron. You know, so he has to SOUND like a moron so their moron brains will understand he's talking to them in their own moron tongue.
Now, I don't think George W. Bush is a moron. I think he's a psychopath. But I don't think he's a moron. So. Why does he talk like a moron? Well, and let me write this very slowly in case any moron American supporters of George W. Bush are reading it - he talks like a moron because he knows his supporters are morons.
I know I'm right about this, but there's no point in being right if nobody who matters doesn't follow through on your rightness. So here's what I think the Democrats should do. They should tell George W. Bush's supporters that the President thinks they are a bunch of morons. And the Democrats should be very specific as to why they are telling them that (lest they get confused and think the Democrats are calling them morons - or worse - Mormons...) and play a tape of the President saying, "All ah know is these are bad guys."
I mean, it doesn't get any plainer'n that. I suppose the President could say, "You people are so moronic, you actually voted for me! Twice! Thanks! Morons!" But he's not a moron so he's not going to say that - is he?
Now get out there, you Democrats, and tell the President's supporters what you know to be true - that he thinks they are morons. Maybe even follow it up with, "But here's the thing. We DON'T think you're morons - or even Mormons. Unless you are... Vote Democrat this November."
Who knows?
