Quote:The more vacuous they are, the more interest it engenders. Often, they even elect the vacuous to high office, though it would be unfair if I didn't point out that this mannerism, this affection for stupidity/vacuous seems to reside more than less with Repubs/conservatives
Make a list of the top 100 game changers in human history. Then tell me how many of them could be lauded for both intelligence and honesty. I have a very strong suspicion that it will not be as high a number as you would like it to be, or as you guess it will be.

I thought of glenn beck today while sitting in the audience for a superb production of Shakespeare's Richard III.
At one point, Richard, who manipulates everyone, is responding to the masses who are chanting that they want him to be king . . . he created a claque to start the chant.
Richard is closeted with two clergymen and comes out with said men of the cloth, holding a prayer book.
that is the same garbage glenn beck pulls!
The more things change, the more they remain the same!
