Why are Conservative bloggers so comfortably dumb? Witness Rumproast’s featured lump of clay, Bonnie Erbe.

conservatives, idiots, media

Many thanks to the witty and hard-working types over at Rumproast for digging up the convenient targets for both last night’s and tonight’s posts.

Last night’s was worthy of extra ridicule for calling on Obama to resign because they think he fooled them badly. I thought that was pretty bold, calling for the end of a Presidency on account of blog embarrassment.

Tonight’s is worthy of some bonus bashing because this fool actually blogs for The U.S. News and World Report(!). I couldn’t believe it when I clicked over–somebody this stupid gets paid by the venerated, 75 year-old magazine to write stuff like this:

Waning Anti-Bush Sentiment Frays President Obama’s Popularity

Tomorrow, two states, including my own, will elect governors. President Obama has campaigned for both Democratic candidates, and the question is whether his efforts will pay off for them. At least in Virginia, there’s not much hope for Creigh Deeds. According to the Associated Press, even GOP experts agree that Tuesday’s elections are hardly an Obama bellwether:

“It’s a great overstatement to say this is a referendum on President Obama, but his policies have had a lot of effect on people’s thinking,” Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, the chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association, told CNN on Sunday. “People are worried about jobs. … Most Americans can’t understand why the government keeps spending so much money. They don’t see much effect from it.”

I would like to add, however, that one reason President Obama slid into office was due to his incredibly lucky timing: Anyone but Bush was going to win the ‘08 presidential elections.

Weh..? Erbe recalls neither the 22nd amendment nor John McCain. That’s lump-tacular. Why do so many of these oblivious fools exist? I couldn’t tell you, I just know that they do.

Be sure to stay tuned to Rumproast as they chronicle Erbe’s ceramic talent for blogging in a series they call “Bonnie Erbe Got Paid to Write This.” Meanwhile, I’m off to beg for dinner…
