What he says about the electorate is right on, because it happens to be what I've been saying for a long time: Congress is full of idiots, but they were elected. Voted in by carefully uninformed teabaggers, exactly as Karl Rove and Rupert Murdoch envisioned when they started down the cynically but brilliantly constructed road to disedification.

Sid,
ReplyDeleteYou say in your post, "What he says about the electorate is right on, BECAUSE it happens to be what I've been saying for a long time:...." (emphasis mine)
Isn't this at least SOME of what Barny is lamenting here? BECAUSE? Really? Might not a better word here have been "AND" rather than "BECAUSE?"
Guess you got me there. Or I could have spelled out the implicit part: "I think what he says..." But, yeah, "and" would have saved a few words. That's what happens when your editor is busy. Oh, right. I don't have an editor.
