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 Fat Fuck, 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 Klan 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 Fat Fuck in a calm   
   discussion of Thomas Paine or Thomas Jefferson?  Karl Marx?  Georges   
   Sorrels?  Herbert Marcuse?   
      
   Today, Fat Fuck 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.
