1. The GOP is wondering what is wrong with them
and the number one thing wrong is they don't value education or intelligence. They don't see that yet, so maybe I shouldn't give them a clue.

Our new First Families are excellent role models and will make a difference in many people's lives.

8. David Brooks even called it a malignancy on the Republican Party
This lacking in intellectual ideas.

12. They are ALL FOR Education -- but only for the RICH.
What is good for America and average Joe Six Pack folk is to put down the damn beer and the remote control and pick up a book for pity's sake.

If Joe Six Pack out their killing brain cells every night is our example of stellar living, we need new role models.

AND I agree, we have a good one in Jill Biden.

15. They want their kids to go to COLLEGE, not necessarily get an education.
Going to college and being intellectual are not interchangeable.

2. What a talented and brilliant person.
I think this group of Pres-VP and spouses surpasses even the Clinton-Gore era in terms of capabilities.

3. Lessee...repukes:
Sore-tailed cats, sociopaths, liars, guys who type one-handed in their mom's basements with their pants around their ankles, racists, used car salesmen, village idiots...

Yup. I am oficially quaking in intellectual fear.

5. Yes. I'd like her to have a higher profile. Our people AND their spouses are tops.
ER: Isn't that grand?
FDR: Indeed it is, old girl!

9. I have plenty of people to "have a beer with"
I want smart people running things...

BTW I doubt if Joe, Jill, Barack, or Michelle really want a beer w/ me
and you know what? I am fine w/ that.

10. Shortly after boosh was re-selected, Bill Maher asked,
"When did we decide we wanted Bubba down the street running the country?"

I realize there were election shenanigans in '04, but Kerry should have won by a landslide. Hell, look at this year - McCain/Palin still got 46% of the vote. What the fuck?
