"But-He-Promised-To-Leave-His-Wife" Stupid. "The-Nice-Man-Told-Me-That-This-Stock-Could-Only-Go-Up" Stupid. "Nigerian-Letter" Stupid


Mahablog weighs in on the important question behind this week's instantly-debunked Santorum lying-point, to wit, that the US DID (it didn't) find chemical weapons in Iraq:

"And speaking of coincidences — what a coincidence that John Negroponte had a hand in this! Negroponte was also behind last March’s “junk intelligence” escapade, also known as Dumbo Document Dump; see here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Essentially, from time to time Negroponte pulls a toy rabbit around a track and lets the righties get some exercise by running in circles, chasing it.

I took all this in, and then made some coffee, and then sat down to consider the burning question of our time — how stupid are Bush supporters, really? This goes way beyond your average left the keys in the car stupid, which plagues the best of us from time to time. There’s something more primordial going on here. In some cases, IMO, we’re looking at simple turtle crossing an interstate stupid. You can’t really blame them for it. In other cases we may be dealing with more exotic forms of cognitive handicaps, however, such as I’m getting messages from Mars stupid, or the cookbook said to separate the yolk from the white so I boiled the egg first stupid."

Damn, that's good writing.

Check out Will Bunch's blog, called
attytood. Easiest to google it. Will's a columnist for the Philly Daily News and a wasp up Santorum's pant leg. Also, the comments will make you howl. Will's got plenty of so-stupid-they-plant-two-pear-trees trolls. It's lively.
