Some time ago, the great Christopher Hitchens (top 1 percent of English
speaking people in IQ) appeared on the Bill Maher program and ended up
flipping off Maher's audience of mindless sheep.  That little segment made
news; what didn't make news was the more important segment after the pitiful
Maher made a joke about GWB's IQ - for the fifth time that night.

This is a paraphrase - but an accurate one - of what Hitchens said to him.

"Was that a Bush IQ joke?   You've made five of those tonight, and you know
what?  It's the joke stupid people laugh at, such as those booing and mooing
in your audience (they boo and he flips them off again).  It's the joke of
dumb people who think they can show themselves to be smarter than the
President of United States.  (He points to the audience).  None of these
people is smarter than the president."

This point needs to be underscored and often, because liberalism is full of
grist for stupid people.  When you think about the laughable likes of Otto
or Klahn, does the word "intelligent" spring to mind?  Of course not, so
you expect certain things from them, namely 1) Bush is stupid comments and
2) second form verbiage like "tea bagger" 3) fatuous charges of racism when
they begin to lose an argument and 4) constant accusations of lying when
there are no lies on the table.  People like Otto and Klahn can wrap their
little minds around these trivial things easily whereas the bigger, more
important things like political theory and public policy evade them.  Can
you imagine for one second trying to engage Otto or Klahn in a calm
discussion of Thomas Paine or Thomas Jefferson?  Karl Marx?  Georges
Sorrels?  Herbert Marcuse?

Today, Klahn made the ridiculous claim that Karl Rove is reponsible for
the deaths of 4,000 Americans.  I know dozens of Gold Star parents, and not
one of us believes for a second that Rove had anything to do with the death
of our sons.
