According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, President Bush is popular because Americans are stupid.

My God! Leftists are sooooooooo predictable.

The President can't possibly be popular because he's taking the war to our enemies, and winning.

He can't possibly be popular because the economy is recovering (DJIA at 10,500 today).

There's no way he could be popular because he's convinced the Congress to pass huge tax cuts.

God forbid he should be popular because he called the French, the Germans, the entire UN on their hypocrisy.

No. "It's the 'Stupid factor,' the S factor: Some people -- sometimes through no fault of their own -- are just not very bright."

All except the leftists who hate the President and get stuff published at the Seattle P-I, that is.

I just love this bit: "an intelligence test to earn the right to vote; a three-significantly-stupid-behaviors-and-you're-out law; fines for politicians who pander to the lowest common denominator and deportation of media representatives who perpetuate such actions."

Let's see. Take the franchise away from "stupid" people. "Stupid" as defined by the "smart" people. You know, the people who get their stuff published by the Seattle P-I. And let's nuke the First Amendment into the bargain.

Not that there's any bias in the media. Nor arrogance.

Then finally there's: "We can stop this sapping of our national integrity but we must do it soon, lest the morons become the norm and those of us who use our brains for more than memorizing advertising jingles are ourselves ostracized from society."

It brings this to mind:

     O wad some Power the giftie gie us
     To see oursels as ithers see us!

Thank you, Rabbie Burns.
