But today we can. When Sarah Palin is nominated for the Vice Presidency, when Dan Quayle actually holds that office, when Donald Trump leads the field for the Repulican presidential nomination bragging about how smart he is while his speeches sound like a ninth-grade book report by a student who didn’t read the book, when Ted Cruz climbs in the polls while his idea of an intellectual exercise is “machine-gun bacon” as an appetizer for denying science itself, we can no longer claim pre-eminence in the brainpower department. To the rest of the world, it must seem that we’re truly “bush league.”
Excuse me, but in this piece on "brainpower", I see no mention of Ben Carson who is, inarguably, the smartest man ever to run for the office. Unbelievably, he is a Republican. What's up with that? And Ted Cruz is right up there with him -- without any question the brightest lawyer ever to run for the office. Obama could never come close to Cruz's intellect.
It was Barack Obama, the Affirmative Action president, who was supposed to be freaking smart and here we are in WW III after the damned fool has doubled the debt and his one domestic "accomplishment" is on its last legs, approaching collapse into a mud wallow of regulatory gibberish, as most of us knew it would be.
Intellect probably isn't a topic Democrats are going to want to discuss this year. |
