Leadership

Regardless of what you might think, Washington is filled with some very smart people. Unfortunately, the space between those people is filled with imbeciles. Here's Mazo's list of notables on both ends of the spectrum - some of which, sadly or gladly, have moved on:

The House -

Love him or hate him, Barney Frank is the smartest guy in the room 98 out of 100 times. He isn't the smartest only when Rush Holt or Vern Ethers are in the room. You can't blame Barney for that 2% lag, though. It's hard to top a couple of PhD physicists on brain power.

On the other end of the spectrum we've got Charlie Rangle and J.D. Hayworth - both of whom, I swear, could hurt themselves with a toilet brush.

The Senate -

On the other end of the building you couldn't do better than John Sununu or Hilary Clinton. Sununu is just plain smart. Misguided sometimes, but smart. And you can call Hilary a dumb cow all you want but the fact is that she'll kick your ass on an IQ test any day of the week.

John Chafee was a sad loss to that body. He was probably the only one who could hold his own with Frank. His kid was OK, but only had 70% of the brains his old man had.

With all of them gone there's not much left. Lieberman has some brains but doesn't know how to use 'em. Kyl can do some thinking but never let that get in the way of political stupidity.

After that it's a steep slope downhill.

I'm not sure how Patty Murry manages to put her pants on straight each morning. James Inhofe thinks wearing your pants backwards is just how it's done.

And don't even get me started about Katherine Harris, Conrad Burns, or Jim Bunning. I think the Republicans contracted with Disney to supply that cast of brain-dead characters.

I'll also say that whatever you think about Obama, he's a damn smart guy. Whatever you think about Biden . . . well . . . see my comment about Jim Inhofe above.

So neither political party is exactly boiling over with intellect right now. I just wish the smarter ones would step up and take the reigns. Then you'd see some leadership.

Cheers,
Mazo.

Sample of Doofus' illogic......Conservatives believe in God, they don't play the part of God......pinko-libs believe that they have to save people from themselves, conservatives believe people are capable of taking care of themselves......who wants to interfere in people's lives more? who really plays God?

Both parties want to play God and tell the other side how vto live their life.

If you do not think the right does you have no understanding of politics.

You are misinformed and under-educated. A conservative is not the same thing as a Republican. My post says absolutely nothing about the political parties. Conservatives believe in limited government as intended by the Founding Fathers. Limited government means more liberty for the people. It means staying out of people's way as much as possible.

As a current example, conservatives are upset with Republican leadership in the House for their lack of effort in defunding Obamacare. Obamacare is the ultimate example of pinko-libs playing God.

You should be a lot more careful about calling people's comments drivel when you don't read them carefully or don't understand them. You're the one who ends up looking stupid......

See my post above. You sure enjoy calling me a troll. In my mind, when a pinko-lib has nothing intelligent to say, they resort to name calling.

Do you have anything intellectual to add to the debate about government acting as god in people's lives? If not, kindly sit down and STFU......thank you for your anticipated cooperation.......

You don't like the thought of me having sex with women more beautiful than you can get.......I was going to post a review about my weekend friend, but I don't want to hurt your feelings.....you just go ahead and think you get better tail than me.........

I said drivel and that is exactly what I have read from you so far.

You spout Tea Party shit.

You do not want to defund government, you want to defund certain parts of government you dislike. You my lil troll are just a political hack. Sorry to burst your bubble.

MA is you want to defend this bomb thrower fine but I am going to show what a hypocrite he actually is.

Now, now WTF. Let's not be defaming my Tea Partiers. We don't spout shit, we just call it where we see it.

how did a thread on leadership devolve into wtf et al being against cutting the deficit again
