“Have you noticed that it has been a remarkable week already? The democrats have left me speechless. It is only Wednesday and the democrats and liberals have had quite a stupid week already! WOW! They exhaust me with their snobbery, theoretical intellectual superiority, and inclination to hold forth on a range of
topics.”
Well, history has a way of repeating itself, and we at Thespis Journal find ourselves on another Tuesday, five weeks later, writing the second edition of “Ten Stupid Things Said By Liberals-In Just Three Days! Welcome to this “carnival of stupidity.”
Senator Diane Feinstein (D-California) leads off second edition of ten stupid things said by liberals. Feinstein was speaking to Bob Sheiffer on Face The Nation.
1. According to Mark Kilmer at Red State, Senator Feinstein engaged in meaningless rambling while on the show. She is voting against Alito. She disagrees with Alito, but he's qualified and disagreements are not a good reason to vote against a nominee. However, she is concerned about the Rehnquist Court. Explain any of that to me…
Senator John McCain takes numbers two and three…John McCain you ask? On a list of ten stupid things said by liberals? Read on…
2. Once again on Face The Nation, McCain said that the Federal Elections Commission is corrupt, because “they keep trying to find loopholes in the McCain-Feingold Law.”
3. Regarding global warming, Senator McCain then stated, "We are doing a terrible thing to this globe, and a terrible thing to future generations." We first have to admit that it's real, he said, and we have to reduce Greenhouse gases. For this, he stated flatly that nuclear power was our best option.
Editors Comment: How many of you reading this posting believe that McCain seems to have nothing better to do than sit with the Sunday morning hosts and make stupid comments?
Number four on the list goes to Hillary Clinton for this brilliant statement at a MLK Day rally. This statement is really stupid.
4. Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying “the House of Representatives is run like a ‘plantation’ where dissenting voices are squelched.” When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.
Editors comment: Oh really, Mrs. Clinton? Is this why we have to endure specifying of the worst degree from Nancy Pelosi, Mad Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Cynthia McKinney, and John Murtha all the time?)
5. For number five, we simply can't resist Teddy Kennedy. In the Sunday New York Times, Uncle Teddy Kennedy complained that the judiciary committee process has become too political. Mr. Kennedy said that the nomination process, and particularly the hearings, had "turned into a political campaign," and that the White House had proved increasingly skilled in turning that to its advantage.
Editors Comment: Uncle Teddy, the godfather of politicizing nominations to the Supreme Court (remember his speech titled, “in Robert Bork’s America…?), has real nerve to say that the process is too political.
Walter Cronkite, America’s Anchor Man, provides us with number six on the ten stupid things list when he attempted to replay his treasonous behavior from the Vietnam era.
6. Former CBS anchor Walter Cronkite, whose 1968 conclusion that the Vietnam War was unwinnable keenly influenced public opinion then, said Sunday he'd say the same thing today about Iraq. "It's my belief that we should get out now," Cronkite said in a meeting with reporters.
Several on the left have been begging around to find a "Cronkite moment" that would tip the momentum in Iraq into abject withdrawal, and Cronkite probably figured he was the best person to attempt another Cronkite moment. He proclaimed that it was one of his proudest moments to tell the nation in an anchorman's commentary that the Vietnam War "was unwinnable and that the U.S. should exit.
Editors comment: Maybe Walter Cronkite could go back to the CBS Evening News and resurrect their ratings with his brand of treason.
We were thrilled to see Al Gore return to the public eye with a blistering speech on Monday. He gives us number seven. We are so fortunate that Florida turned out the way it did in 2000.
7. Former Vice President Al Gore asserted Monday that President Bush "repeatedly and persistently" broke the law by eavesdropping on Americans without a court warrant and called for a federal investigation of the practice. "Is America in more danger now than when we faced worldwide fascism on the march - when our fathers fought and won two World Wars simultaneously?" he said. "It is simply an insult those who came before us and sacrificed so much on our behalf to imply that we have more to be fearful of than they."
Editors comment: As usual, Mr. Gore spoke without regard for facts, ethics, or the compelling nature of our current war.
It pains us to give any more ink to John Murtha, but his latest gaffe is too good to pass up for our ten stupid things listing. What will Murtha say next? Here is number eight.
8. "I think the vast majority will be out by the end of the year and I'm hopeful it will be sooner than that," Murtha, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran who retired as a colonel after 37 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, told the CBS "60 Minutes" show. "All of us want this president to succeed ... I feel a mission here, with my experience, that I have to help the president find a way out of this thing."
Editors Comment: Yeah, right, Mr. Murtha….cut and run now! That’s your brilliant strategy.
Numbers nine and ten in our ten stupid things list have to go to America’s favorite mayor, Ray Nagin of New Orleans who seems to have lost it Monday while pontificating extemporaneously during his MLK speech. These comments speak volumes about his mentality.
9. "Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin, who is black, said as he and other city leaders marked Martin Luther King Day. "Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."
10. "It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans — the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," the mayor said. "This city will be a majority African American city. It's the way God wants it to be. You can't have New Orleans no other way. It wouldn't be New Orleans."

Editors Comment: We are speechless. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! The only way to make Nagin’s comments better would be if “Idiot of the Year Blanco” had joined him in making such breath-taking statements.
That’s a wrap for another edition of Ten Stupid Things Said by Liberals-In Just Three Days. We truly hope that you enjoyed it. It’s been great fun, and It should provide all of us with things to comment on for the reminder of the week.

It is not for nothing that the mascot of the Democratic party is the Jack Ass. The humble donkey would have kept his mouth shut.
Liberals can't help saying stupid things. As the great American philosopher, Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."
There must be something to that higher education I keep hearing about. The better the school, the higher the education, the dumber the speech.
Can't answer my questions, huh? Just going to regurgitate whatever Hannity and Limbaugh say without giving it any thought yourself? Going to spew out boring rhetoric and not allow for any disenting opinion?
You love Democracy so much that you can't stand to see it in action.
The thing is, I'm not sure that Mayor Nagin "is a lefty."
The conservative/libertarian writer - and leading blogger radley Balko included him on his list of pro-liberty, fiscally conservative "Heroes of 2003."

The mayor made an important gesture in endorsing Bobby Jindal for Governor.
That was a crucial endorsement, in what was a tight race. It wasn't enough to push [now-Congressman] Jindal over the top.
But it could have been.
How about some editor's commentary that actually means anything? "Stupid" and "really stupid" do not suggest any thoughtful opposition--only a blind and stubborn attack against anything said by someone labeled as "liberal."
I came across this page and read it because I thought it would offer some insight into the conservative perspective on liberals. I did not find a genuine critique. WHY are these things so "stupid"?
Please look at all the other posts on Thespis Journal!
For conservatives, these foolish comments by liberals speak for themselves!
We offer tons of facts, analysis, and divergent views.
Thanks for your comments, and come back soon!
