Boy, look at you! I know you're right fine young man, all growed up now, but don't need to be a-slightin' us stupid people. You see, just 'cause us simple folk don't reckon what's the difference between them thar two bills that Kerry voted on, it doesn't mean that we're stooopid.

Ooooo-weeee... Mr. Bill goes off to Washington for a summer and he comes back all high and mighty. What do I tell Thelma-Lou?

Now, if I cotton to your way of thinkin', then it's right fair for me to say that if you don't know much about pig farmin', you are plum stupid. Does that seem right to you? I don't know much about no politic'en, and you most likely don't know your way around a barn lot. That makes us 'bout even, you figure?

This has got my dander so riled up, I've got half a mind to go out to that Sanny Fransciso bay to whoop your behind. Come to think of it, I'm-a-gonna do it! Boy, I'll be in your neck of the woods during that Cal Games thingy you have out there, and you better get your head on a swivel. Look out for the guy in the overalls and arse-kickers.

LOL. Sorry Andy... Thank god you know I’m not a total goon. I usually end up refining my posts, but I forgot to proofread this time. I should have said something more along the lines of…

“That was a perfectly correct statement and a valid position if you knew the specifics of the two bills he was talking about. Things like that loose the people who spend less time paying attention to politics than I spend on CD. It’s rare when you see Bush those people…”

Or something less offensive...

But there are definitely some voters who pay attention to all things political and keep themselves up to date with everything that’s going on, and then there are some voters who read snippets here and there, see the ads on television, and watch a debate or two. My point was supposed to be that the first kind of person is more likely to realize that the famous Kerry sound byte was a legitimate statement, but when shown to the second kind of person it seems bizarre and further fuels the false idea that Kerry is the only person in the world who can’t make up his mind on issues.

<sarcasm>I’m not sure what to tell Thelma, but Lou (my sister) already knows I can be an arse sometimes. I didn’t become high and mighty out there in DC… I’ve always been a liberal elitist !</sarcasm>

I’ll try to keep my head on a swivel in October, but just in case I can’t, can I buy you a drink to make up for being an arse ?
