The Brilliant Supervisionary Genius in the Oval House
One of the most popular, and most odious, conservative blogs out there is called Powerline. I will not link to it, as I don’t want its rightwing nutjob cooties all over doodleplex, but I have to mention this, from one of their recent posts:
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can’t get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile. (via kos)
Now, this would be a hilarious gag on Saturday Night Live or the Daily Show: some old British dude sitting in an overstuffed armchair waxing hyperbolic on Bush’s unacknowledged genius. And it would just be mildly annoying if the guy who wrote this was throwing up misinformation to befuddle the befuddleable elements of the body politic. But I have a feeling that this son of a bitch is serious. And that’s just scary.
