When the flap started last week about Obama's truism regarding Pennsylvania, I tried to write about it a few times and it didn't come out right. I almost had something, then I read Dastards's Blog. He pretty much summed up my opinion. Or so I thought. So I didn't bother publishing.
Then I watched Monday's Daily Show on Tivo while I ate my humble dinner tonight. My viewpoint is now a Stewart/Dastard hybrid. It is so nice having other people write for me.
"Doesn't 'elite' mean 'good?' Is that not something we're looking for in a President anymore? You know what? Candidates, come with me."

"I know elite is a bad word in politics, and you want to go bowling and throw back a few beers. But the job you're applying for, if you get and it goes well THEY MIGHT CARVE YOUR HEAD INTO A MOUNTAIN! If you don't actually think you're better than us, THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?"

I, for one, would like to look forward to having a President to which I'm not vastly intellectually superior. Actually, at this point I'd settle for one to which my dog isn't vastly intellectually superior.
