Claudia,

First up at Speaker’s Corner, for the time set aside for those cogent-ally gifted for stupidity, Claudia Rosett, setting the tone for the formerly in-power, droolers of America.

Democracy is a great way to hear from the proletariat, many who are much smarter than the leadership. In the case of Claudia, the opposite can, and does, happen and we get to see those who cannot seem to remember to wipe their runny noses, treating us all to the knowledge that we are not exceptional and even great societies harbor morons and idiots. I mean, just look at GWBush. Selecting a cretin to the White House is certainly more exceptional than electing a black man. Allowing the fool to remain for a second time may well indicate a sickness in the society, however.
