Bay Buchanan: Obama 'Has Dummied Down The Supreme Court'
First Posted: 05-11-10 03:00 PM | Updated: 05-11-10 05:37 PM

Conservative commentator Bay Buchanan said on "Larry King Live" on Monday that Obama's choice of Sonia Sotomayor to fill a Supreme Court vacancy last year, and now Elena Kagan are signs that the President has "dummied down the Supreme Court."

"What makes her qualified?" Buchanan asked, referring to Kagan. "She has -- being a president of Harvard makes you qualified? It does not. What he's done is dummy down. He has dummied down the Supreme Court. He has given two of the best appointments of his administration to people who are not the best and the brightest. That's unfortunate."

Harvard Kennedy School Professor and CNN political anlayst David Gergen, who also appearded on the program, disagreed: "I just don't understand why someone who has lived a life of excellence, someone who has distinguished herself in role after role, including that of solicitor general, can possibly be described as someone who is sort of mediocre. He's gone to a choice of quality."

At one point political strategist James Carville suggested that Obama should have appointed author John Grisham to the Supreme Court post..

"The next Supreme Court justice should be John Grisham. He's written a lot. He went to Old Miss. And, you know, I think he'd be a dog gone good Supreme Court justice," Carville said. "I read his books. I like the way this guy thinks."

1. She supported Harriet Miers wholeheartedly; 'nuff said. nt

[Scuba]

18. Nailed it.

[fishwax]

22. lol -- but Harriet Myers was qualified

she was a republican, after all. :eyes:

[Alcibiades]

2. David Gergen has no place in today's GOP

People like him did not seriously confront the idiots when the GOP decided they were politically useful: now that they have completely taken over the GOP, it's too late.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Carville can very easily slip into the spot he vacates in the GOP.

He nauseates me in so many different ways that I cannot list them all.

[Bitwit1234]

3. I just don't understand by stupid butt republicans

are always given time to spew their stupid butt comments on the air. MSM again with their republican bias...don't you just love that liberal media.

The republicans know the media is biased toward republicans, else why would they, especially the screechiest voiced spewing cat Palin constantly pan it. She is just trying to get people to believe it.

[opihimoimoi]

4. as queen of dumb...Bay ain't qualied to judge a judge wannabe

[old mark]

5. The GOP has Bay (And Pat) Buchanan, Bachmann and Palin, Jaindal,....

They should complain about "dummied down"?

They have a photo of the republicans in the Senate in the dictionary next to the word "dumbass"....

(Well, they do in MY dictionary, anyway...)

[Maeve]

6. Projecting again, I see eom

[BrklynLiberal]

7. Yep. That would be my take on it as well.

[madokie]

8. Yep, Bay Buchanan knows dumb.

up close and personal

[BrklynLiberal]

9. LOL

:thumbsup: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[tavalon]

11. Smiling dumbly back at her

[BrklynLiberal]

14. in the mirror.....LOLOLOLOLOLOL

In case someone thinks she wakes up next to someone every morning who fills this description...:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[tavalon]

21. That was what I meant to write

Thanks

[BrklynLiberal]

25. I knew that...but could not resist the clarification LOL

:thumbsup: :hi:

[tavalon]

10. Harriet Myers

That was dumb. This nominee, not so much.

[tabasco]

12. Well, now that constitutional scholar Sarah Palin has weighed in...

with her hefty academic and judicial credentials,


I SUPPOSE OBAMA HAS NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO WITHDRAW THE NOMINATION.

[RobinA]

15. I Thought

Sarah Palin was the Queen of Dumb. Anyway, haven't opponents complained for like, 200 years, that nominee X is too dumb to be on the Supreme Court? I mean, Clarence Thomas???

[unhappycamper]

33. Palin is indeed the Queen of Dumb.

IMHO Bay is the Queen of dumb. Minor difference as they both are pretty dumb.........

[AndyA]

16. You want to talk about dumb and the Supreme Court?

Clarence Thomas, for one. Sleeps most of the time, it would seem.

And anyone who voted to give corporations more power and more say in elections than registered voters, for another.

And let's talk about dumb Republican pResidents. George W. Bush, for instance. The man is an idiot drunk. Always has been, always will be.

The GOP represents the dumbest people in the world...look past the obvious, Bay, as you usually do.

Conservatives say their taxes are too high, yet they're lower than at any time since 1950. (Idiots.)

Conservatives want to protect the unborn, then do nothing for them once they're born. No education, no health care, no loving nurturing family environment. They just want them to grow up so they can die in a trumped up war to further the Military Industrial Complex the conservatives are so fond of.

Your rights are based solely on your economic status in the GOP world.

George W. Bush. Sarah Palin. Michelle Bachmann. John Boehner. Jim Inhofe.

I think I've made my point.

I still think Bay is Pat in drag.

[mstinamotorcity]

17. Well if the President dummied down

the Supreme Court,then what explains the repug dummy up.:+ :+ :+ Nothing,clowns pretend to be dumb.

[YOY]

19. I thought "she who is without a brain" was the "queen of dumb".

n.t.

[BrklynLiberal]

30. LOL. there are just soooo many contenders over there.....

Here's the best irony..The repukes think they have "prettier" "spokesperson" than Democrats, ergo, they are better
at what they do....er..well..now that I think of it..They ARE great at being shrieking, shrill, mindless twits.

I find it to be VERY telling how much importance and value the repukes give to the appearance of their women.
Misogyny anyone? Superficial, shallow meaninglessness anyone?

[arcadian]

20. Thought this was going tobe a Palin thread

[Bucky]

23. Any fucking idiot off the street can be president of Harvard.

I'd like to see James Carville on the Supreme Court. Monkey-Americans have long been underrepresented there.

[HopeHoops]

24. Palin has the IQ of a turnip, so she obviously assumes ALL women are just as dumb.

No offense intended toward turnips.

[greencharlie]

26. I was expecting a Palin quote,... nt

[foxfeet]

27. Ah, the sound of goose farts on a muggy day. nt

[WCGreen]

28. What makes her qualified to be on any show about politics....

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

29. Isn't the expression "dumbed down"? nt

[BrklynLiberal]

31. oops. guess she did not get that part right either...

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. I mean I'm seriously asking. English is not my first language but I've always herd dumbing down or

dumbed down. I could be wrong but she's still a tool.

[BrklynLiberal]

35. You are right. It IS "dumbed down" not "dummied down".

Obviously you have a better command of the English Language than that addle headed twit.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

37. Unlike her I actually paid attention in school. ;-) nt

[Vickers]

32. I was unaware that Obama nominated Clarence Thomas. n/t

[Arkana]

36. What shocks me most is that Gergen likes the pick.

[troubledamerican]

38. Michelle Bachmann? Sarah "Stalin" Palin?

Queen of Dumb? Buchanan? WTF?
