Republicans Are Smart. Darn Smart.


















Brian Kilmeade Provides Fox News Entertainment By Embarrassing Himself

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade has been embarrassing himself more than usual over the last few days on Fox & Friends. Yesterday, after news broke that the cap BP placed on its leaking oil well had to be removed because one of its robots bumped the well’s venting system, Kilmeade had some harsh words for the robot. “I’d love to talk to that robot that knocked…the top off the cap that was in the bottom of the Gulf yesterday,” Kilmeade said. “What was that robot thinking?” he asked in disgust.

Then today, as Media Matters notes, the Fox co-host had had this dim-witted question for President Obama:

    KILMEADE: The President took a matter of hours to pick a commander in Afghanistan so why is it taking months to plug the leaking oil?

It’s unclear how Kilmeade believes that appointing an individual to lead the war in Afghanistan is comparable in difficulty to plugging an oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico.

Gov. Bobby Jindal(R) vetoes bill to open oil spill records. What are you hiding Bobby. maybe its that he did not call out the Gurad to help with the spill response.

Jeb Bush was never the brightest kid in class himself, but at least he knew enough to keep a low profile - until now. Trying to save his brother George's reputation - Genco Olive Oil in the shitter due to Fredo

The Rove is strong in that one: What better way to avoid acknowledging your brother’s responsibility for his numerous, world-historical catastrophes than prissily criticizing his successor for his unwillingness to take responsibility for the disasters your brother authored?

Inevitably, the article turned to speculation that the Bush clan might have another scion to barf up for presidential consideration.
