Tim Robbins, imploringly on TDS: "I want a smart person to run this country."

I couldn't have said it better myself. That's all, folks. We have one choice.

1. Yes. It has been eight long years of pure stupid being cheerleaded by the functioning morans.

2. smart > twitchy

On edit: This west-coaster hasn't seen TDS yet but thanks for the heads up.

3. Navy Seals are an elite team. Why not an elite for president!

It just made too much sense. He's great.

And the Daily Show is THERAPY.

5. It is therapy, but there's that

'elite' meme, and I hate to think who started that.

If 'elite' = smart, bring it on!

It doesn't have to have anything to do with money.

Smarts works for me.

6. That's why the intelligencia gets attacked here

The market is not over....... it has more than 9000 more points to drop
before the free capitalistic system proves it fails.

7. It's one of the neocon attack strategies.

Attack your opponents strongest asset.

It was brilliant that he used that analogy. A military visual. He could have turned it around. Why not have the Seals employ the less than elite.

What I will never understand is the mentality of those who accept these empty attacks. Any sane person would see the flawed logic. An elite person running for president? Why not. And as a matter of fact, and I believe this is also a Leo Strauss method, the very people who are accusing others of being elite are the epitome of elite in this society. We know that, but the Wasilla zombies don't.

4. I am worried they will trash the Hubble and crash it into the ocean before

the next space telescope is launched.

8. Goddess, I hadn't THOUGHT of that!
