"Bush a Maverick," Comments from the Dodo Bird

Being that I just got home, I had to get caught up with the Sopranos; that done I turned to Bill Mahr’s old programs.
One of them featured this old reprobate who heads up the Weekly Standard. He was openly peddling his book in which he claims that Bush is a maverick. Mahr nailed him good.
He said a president who supports the pharmaceutical industry’s claims, who supports privatization of Social Security and other government programs is hardly a maverick.
He asked him if he didn’t think that if Bush were a maverick he would be attacking the corporations who run American government today.
The boob tried to cover with some inane remarks that weren’t worth repeating.
Later, Mahr asked him if he would feel the same way if Hillary were making those kind of decisions. And he admitted that he wouldn’t. But for now, his argument is that Bush is a conservative with good conservative credentials.
How many more idiots like this are going to surface with their insipid arguments that are not even worth discussing. And what truly amazes me is that not only some idiot like this is allowed to go public with his specious arguments, it is that there will always be a market for stupidity. Every day and in every way, my confidence in the intelligence of the American public goes down. Right now, it is somewhere near gutter level. And to think, we were at one time respected for our intelligence.
What I cannot help to think about is the fate of the Sybarites who were equally deluded.
