What do Idiot Son and his sheeple voters really have in common other than that they're all TOTAL ASSHOLES?

1. The asshole's role in politics has long gone under-studied
In my humble opinion, all political systems are organized around a fundamental question: what does society do with the asshole?

http://www.plaidder.com/crackpot.htm#asshole

The Bush administration, IMHO, is composed entirely of assholes, as I have defined them. An asshole, according to this theory, is someone who looks out for himself first and doesn't give a shit how his actions affect others. By that measure, this is the assholiest administration in a long time, and possibly ever.

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

2. That's a safe assumption
I'd say at least 50% of the people I have interactions with on a daily basis are assholes.

3. Bush is just a dumb guy who was taught that dumb people
will follow you if you scare them to death. The Jerry Falwell types play that game too.
