Updated: Poster Woman For The Dumbest ‘Republican’

America, Democracy, Intelligence, John McCain, Republicans

I thought Elizabeth Hasselback was dumb. Then came the panelists on Sean Hannity’s “Great American Panel.” And now: enter Meghan McCain.

This creature calls herself a writer. And, to be fair, America has facilitated her hubris. She has written for Newsweek, no less, and now pens a blog for the Daily Beast. McCain’s notion of an argument is, “I, like, disagree with that completely, and think that’s completely crazy.”

McCain’s prominence as a “writer,” rather than as a Paris Hilton-style reality show narcissist, is because 1) her father is famous. 2) This is the Age of the Idiot.

If you’ve read the first few lines of her Daily Beast blog, you’ve read all two rambling pages of it. I wish I had the talent these vapid women evince for saying nothing for pages on end.

The upside of this depression is that the Meghan McCain cohort will become unemployable, except perhaps as hookers (duct tape on the trap is a must).

Writes McCain: “I hope viewers understand Ann Coulter is not the woman we Republicans need representing us right now.” McCain also accused Coulter of anti-Semitism, a silliness I dispatched of here.

She’s hoping to be anointed in Coulter’s place.

The retarded McCain (with apologies to retards) doesn’t grasp that, as shallow as The Queen Bee’s message is, the one-trick Coulter is still sui generis; a master of the syllogism and quick wit.

I can’t wait for Ann to eviscerate mindless Meghan.

I give you the Republican Party’s latest, and perhaps greatest, ditz (could her gracious mother not have taught this young heifer to speak properly? Mrs. McCain is a rather refined, well-spoken, and certainly a strickingly beautiful lady, in that icy, Nordic way):

Update (March 12):MEGHA-HEAD MCCAIN. If I hear the phrase “reach out,” “moderate,” “young people,” or “I feel like,” once again… (fill in the blanks). Here is megha-head McCain again. Huffington Post calls what she does “argue.” MM “argues” that: “the GOP, a party which she ‘loves,’ needs to become more moderate and reach out more, especially to younger voters.”

Damn democracy, wherein I have to be tortured by what such idiots think and “feel,” because they reach so far into my pocket.

A COW IS BORN: Here is MM anointing herself as the Only One; as someone who’s seen “a lot.” Maddow helps establish this useful idiot as a person with a frontal lobe. MM brays: “I love being open (I bet), I’m so different, I’ve seen A LOT [said in those staccato tart tones]. I twitter. [I’m a twit.] It’s like weird. I don’t completely understand econ; I keep reading, I just don’t understand it… I only write what I know about.” [Which is why she writes so much about so little.]

Hurry up, Ann Coulter, and put us out of our misery; finish MM off already.

South Africa Heads For Another Racial Census

Anti-Semitism, Democracy, Race, Racism, South-Africa

Writes our brilliant Afrikaner friend (and I never use the word “brilliant” in vain), Dan Roodt: “South Africa is today an insane society, modeled upon an Ayn Rand nightmare where the looters govern and the producers, entrepreneurs and taxpayers are constantly harassed for handing over more of their wealth. Out of a total population of 46 million people, 12 million South Africans now receive so-called government ‘grants.’ They and their dependents – who amount to probably more than 20 million people or half the population – survive on these government handouts. They do not work, yet receive childcare allowances, pensions, free housing, water, electricity, healthcare and schooling.” …

“South Africa is headed for another racial census, a.k.a. an ‘election’ on 22 April – with the predictable outcome of returning another ANC government to power. Given that South African blacks represent 80% of the population, there is absolutely no way in which the ANC could lose.” …

“Instead of dissipating over time amid the constant din of South African liberals who believe that the country has ‘finally transcended race’ or is on its way to doing so, race and identity remain at the core of South African politics. No less a man than Harvard political scientist Samual Huntington once observed that South Africa was one of those countries condemned to a ‘conflict of civilizations,’ with a formerly white-dominated Western country currently being Africanised by the demographically dominant black population and its Afrocentric leadership.” …

He's A Talking Doll

Barack Obama, Technology

“Amazing Obama” is a talking doll, whose string you have to pull every so often if you want him to work. Like “Amazing Ally,” another “interactive talking doll,” he can “recognize various objects,” and has “an internal talking mechanism that can store countless phrases.” “Amazing Obama” even has voice recognition technology that allows him to recognize the voice of “Mama Obama.” (Although she frightens him into having a … real accident.) “It’s hard to say where new (and cheaper) technologies will take talking dolls in the future, but wherever they go,” they will come with strings attached and teleprompters, of course.
