"Stupid wingnut says something stupid" thread

Some of his written and rehearsed speeches are pretty good, when he gets the "testimonial" spirit, and hits his rhythm.

It's when he's trying to explain something, or is giving an off-the-cuff answer when he starts scattering the monosyllable "...uh..." around like buckshot, and makes him sound like a doofus.

This is why Bush was cool. Most politicians are doing the political double-speak, "say something without saying anything" crap. Bush, on the other hand, was like "actually fuck you, here's what I think/how it is." Sure, he was always wrong, and none of his ideas were actually his, but he was so sure of himself.

Yeah that's me, agreeing with the "Miss me yet?" bumper stickers.

Wait.  You fell for that schtick?

I think I really like the guy,he's just one of the worst pubic speakers out there.

Of course, he wants to hold lawyers accountable to non lawyers, so he could have Obama's oratory skills and still never get elected to a city council.

Why does everybody keep saying Obama has amazing oratory skills? Has it been that long since a decent orator has been popular? The guy is dry, lifeless, emotionless, and has terrible timing.

Meh. It's a matter of opinion, really. I don't think his timing is bad, nor do I find him dry and lifeless when he speaks. Emotionless, well, in my view it's more "calm and collected" than "robot apocalypse incoming", but then again, that's just my view on it.

Having reviewed a few speeches in the past, I don't think that the nation has had a decent speaker as president since Clinton, a good speaker since Reagan, a decent orator since Nixon (I have to admit, I thought he had vocal charisma, if no physical charisma), and a good orator since Kennedy. I may be biased because JFK admitted he was a donut, though. I find Obama to be somewhere between Clinton and Reagan. In my opinion, no other president between JFK and Barry O has been even as good as Clinton. So, considering what people have to work with, it's not surprising that Obama gets praised for his speaking.

"Berliner" was also slang (at least a few decades ago) for having a big cock... So maybe JFK was just advertising to the hot german actresses

It was a lie, but it still satisfied my inner chimp.

Bush and co were genuinely stupid or unconcerned with the thoughts and objections of others to draw back the 4th wall on the workings of state, however.  And for that they shall forever be cherished.

The National Review reported on Saturday that Gingrich said that President Obama only pretends to be "normal," that he is conning Americans and that he may have a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" worldview. "What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" Gingrich asks. "That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior."

He forgot to mention his deep-seated hatred of white people, as well.

I believe that was implied

"We took the Bible and prayer out of public schools. Now we're having weekly shootings. We had the 60s sexual revolution, and now people are dying of AIDS."

This is going to be hysterical.

America is now a socialist economy. The definition of a socialist economy is when 50% or more your economy is dependent on the federal government.

This is what tea partiers actually believe.

It's amusing when they say stuff like that, and then argue the military budget should be doubled, and more wars declared.  Because the military totally isn't a quasi-socialist society, and the Pentagon budget is paid for by faeries and leprechauns, not out of the budget.
