There were three Bonehead Absurdity candidates for February:
From Clint Eastwood: "I voted against that incompetent, lying, flip-flopping, insincere, double-talking, radical socialist, terrorist excusing, bleeding heart, narcissistic, scientific and economic moron currently in the White House!"
Rocker Ted Nugent: Nugent called the President a "communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured, subhuman mongrel."

Rocker Ted Nugent: Nugent called the President a "communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured, subhuman mongrel."
Richard H. Black, Republican state senator from Northern Virginia, said: a statue of Lincoln had no business going up to Richmond because it would be "sort of like putting the Confederate flag at the Lincoln Memorial."
Because Nugent is a well-known fascist, and Black a certified idiot, Phronesis decided their utterances, while absurd, were too typical to warrant the bonehead label (even Texas governor, Rick Perry, said about Nugent's venom: "That's just Ted"). Eastwood's seemed more bonehead worthy, so we have selected Clint Eastwood as our February winner.
NOTE: Should you hear or come across any bonehead absurdities, please send them to me. Phronesis is always on the lookout for worthy candidates.
The left would say that Nugent and Eastwood suffer from "Obama Derangement Syndrome" and they're right. Any rational examination of Obama's background and record reveals that he is anything but radical.
ReplyDeleteSadly this "Syndrome" has real consequences for the American people. By painting this President in these terms, and getting away with it, it provides Republican s with the political cover with their most conservative constituents to oppose everything this President does or proposes. This allows them to obstruct any common sense proposals to improve the economy or improve the health care law, even if they previously supported such policies themselves. They don't pay a high enough price - like losing their jobs -for hurting their constituents. This type of behavior is unprecedented in my lifetime and should be called out, by the President himself, to increase the political cost of their obstruction.
