The intellectual deficit at the heart of our governments is horrifying. There's a reason for that. [View all]

The idiom pseudointellectual could have been created for the shallow twits that surround the president and prime minister alike - The stupid person's idea of a clever person sums up the attributes of these administrators, which says much about the ‘leaders’ we are stuck with for the time being and who they choose to surround themselves with. That there is there is such a profound, abundant and established history of folly and ignorance within the conservative movement no doubt supports such hubristic superficial thinkers to climb the greasy, corrupt and ethic free pole. There is a reason why these administrations avoid (or sack) actual intellectuals like the plague. Anyone who knows what they are they are talking about can far too easily expose their superficial grasp on the expertise that is needed to govern in a healthy democracy successfully. Ergo, they must be silenced.

Experts? Experts? We don’t need no stinking experts… *gulp*

Heh.
