Seriously, look at the modern Republican party: They have flat out contempt for anyone with above average intelligence (like, say, Barack Obama or Jimmy Carter) and cannot get enough of the drooling morons (insert the name of any Republican Presidential Potential here).
Last week, John McLaughhlin actually hailed Michele Bachmann as a potential VP candidate in 2012. Can you imagine- Palin/Bachman? Add their two IQs together and you STILL don't hit triple digits.
Remember, Al Gore was battered by the press for his performance in EACH one of his debates for looking too smart while W was hailed despite being wrong, ill-informed and flat out dumb- because he seemed (and I quote) 'like a guy you'd want to have a beer with!'
I guess if we had a national election to select beer drinker in chief I probably would have voted for him.
