Wile E. Coyote, Super-Genius proves once again that he plays 3D chess while the rest of us play checkers.

Of course, it IS a lightning checkers tournament, 10 seconds to move, while he takes hours to study the 3D chessboard.

Taking a nasty, rude and factually incorrect swipe at a constitutional decision by Anthony Kennedy, the current swing vote on SCOTUS? Smooth strategy, there, Mr. Con Law adjunct. Did Roberts set a trap by asking Kennedy to write the opinion? Could Roberts be that smart and Obama that dumb??

And lying (surely he knows better) that the decision will open the floodgates to foreign money in campaigns… that’s just too precious coming from the guy whose 2008 campaign turned off the credit card address verification system on its website. Does he really think we’re all THAT stupid? Don’t answer that, it was rhetorical.

And he offers a bone on nuclear and offshore in return for cap-n-trade? Who in their right mind would trust this guy to keep a deal? I can’t imagine how you could word a bill to protect you from when he reneges on his end by having EPA or Interior or some other agency screw you on the energy development end after the cap-n-trade piece is in place.

It’s not so much that HE is lame, it’s that he thinks EVERYONE ELSE is stupid.
