You can be both smart and dumb simultaneously (spell that, Your Highness!). Ah, but you, as a Presidential candidate, are having your cake and eating it too.

You are engaged in a gunfight with an exceptionally unarmed man. When politicians say that the populace is smart, I want to gag. Democrats know that the average voter isn't too bright and needs help. "We have come to save you" Republicans know that voters are dumber than dirt and are ripe for the picking. How else do you explain folks making $35K being in favor of an inheritance tax that only applies to estates of more than about $6mil? I'm in favor of taking the money used on Star Wars to develop a weapon that delivers 8,000 volts to any politician or journalist who says that voters are so smart.

And we will find these people and we will bring them to justice." You go, boy. Go get them peaceful, freedom loving Iraqi's. By the way, if you really want some good old fashioned "what the hell is he thinking?" moments, read up on Bush's speech to the Philippine parliment. It makes you wonder if anyone in the White House actually knows anything about history or whether they truly are as out of it as we fear: http://slate.msn.com/id/2090114/ Courtesy of Slate, there’s this beauty from a few days ago:

I'm glad that the intelligence community was able to provide such a useful tidbit. In another 3 or 4 months we can expect to hear that the holes in soldiers are being cause by both bullets AND shrapnel.
