Being Stupid is No Longer Cool

There was a poll released yesterday that showed that seventy some percent of that little puddle of what remains of the Republican party still supports Palin. Well of course they do. Mika, of “Morning Joe” says that these Palin supporters are “real Americans”. I don’t know what that makes you and I, but I do know that Palin has some of the same traits that bush exhibited and they, “real Americans” crave that.

During bush’s time in office he played to the folksy down home, let’s face it, the less than intelligent cretin. He made being less than intelligent cool. Who wanted to be an “elite” educated American when you had proof that a man who was not curious about anything, often couldn’t form sentences and struggled with the English language daily, could rise to be President? He was an example of them.

Now we have a President who is just the opposite of bush in his manner, speech and approach to problems. Damn it, he’s all educated and smart and all. So the right wingers are pissed. They feel they are no longer represented in the Oval Office. Where’s the ignorance that they can identify with? Where is the person who speaks as they do? Where’s the guy who gives them permission to be less than educated and makes it cool? Where’s Palin? She could easily speak for them again, even if no one had a clue to what she was talking about. She could change everything back to the way it was for eight years.

Things have changed for them, the real American, because today being stupid is back to what it used to be, being stupid.
