All our Corporate Overlords Need is someone who can sign their name. In fact-it seems they would prefer someone with an IQ of about 75.

The only time a Presidential candidate is expected to be intelligent, is if they are running on the Demoratic ticket. The gop prefers dumb, Palin, Santorum, Rmoney, Huckster and a whole host of others. Figureheads like Dumya.

"whaaaaaaaaaa?" If Hannity is a Reporter, that must mean Fox News is really...News. And no he is not, and they are not.

Reagan beat Carter and Mondale. George H. W. Bush beat Dukakis. George W. Bush "beat" Gore and Kerry. The lower IQs win far too often.

In Perry's Texas, it often seems like politicians pride themselves on stupidity(at least, according to Molly Ivins). Throughout the country, politicians frequently paint their smarter opponents as "ivory tower" intellectuals, out of touch with the "common citizen." And that has a pretty successful track record.

"The next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please, pay attention."

Isn't it funny how Butt Stupid RW can figure out how to get what he wants?

For me, I think we should make it a Constitutional amendment to not allow Presidents to come from Texas.

Thanks, sweetie!

I'm on "hospice death watch"... my dad, age 92 (expected, but still tearful) is leaving us any minute.

But you gave us a good chuckle and a laugh during a stressful time. xx

Hannity's best pal Don Blankenship is headed to federal court to answer for his part in the murder of at least 29 miners. It's too damned bad, that Hannity can't join the Don in court.

of the electorate: the unintelligent.

His argument is just cause he can't find the US on a world map doesn't mean he couldn't run the whole shebang.

Not only admits he's stupid, but he crows about it.

It’s about how to lie about the subject. That takes a lot of quick thinking about what has been said in the issues…

Everyone agrees Hannity is the premier blow hard hypocrite of that right wing hate radio and cable crowd. Hannity knows the art of rhetoric and has the skill to dance into and out of the sophistry that will railroad most of his following into a mist of asshat hate bating confusion to wind up in siding with him.

This is a very interesting part about academic skill, or just really good social skill building that has been the exclusive domain of the rich before the Internet.

Many of the Internet savvy serious electorates know something called Set theory is fundamental to all of mathematics, and reasoning or thinking to solve daily problems.

In its "pure" form, set theory can be esoteric and even bizarre, and has been primarily of interest to academics, business and government management and control theory.

Many school systems skirt a really good level of training in this area. Especially the k12 system, being just high school of the last century has a limited development training in reasoning power and because of the lack of skills in this mathematical area many get confused easily.

However, mathematics set theory is closely connected with symbolic logic, and these fields are becoming increasingly relevant in software engineering, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence and communications security, or especially banking security.

Seriously business and engineering reasoning is necessary to move forward, and far too many of the electorate lack this training. The consequences are many vote against their interest out of simple mental swindling.

Never forget 911 and what George Bush said fool me once fool me twice etc…

However, George Bush did not forgot what to say, or say it right, George Bush like Rick Perry didn’t want to say that third measure of importance.

If this electorate is so dam dumb the current Conservative Republican types could keep on fooling them… and likely get away with war crimes and be able to sack the treasury.
