Why Can't Our Politicians Be Like This?

I wish our politicians were more like Michael Eric Dyson.

Quote:

Odd, I thought he sounded like a blithering imbecile who spouts the same soundbite nonsense that is made to sound like some enlightening statement. Comparing the Bush Administration to Putin's Russia, what a moron. I'm not sure what was more disturbing, the fact that he said it, or that he may actually believe that. But hey, this totalitarian state is good enough for him to seek refuge, eh?

I'm pretty sure he was actually pointing out how the Bush administration isn't like Putin's Russia, or did the approval rating comment fly right over your head?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm also pretty sure they are not Objectivists, I dunno though.

No, really, do you actually have anything to contribute to this thread, or are you just going to be contrarian?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

"I think that with the same tight control of media, and with the same pervasive security force, that Bush and Cheney could enjoy the same kind of approval rating."

You are a fucking idiot. He explicitly stated that the Bush administration is not a police state.

Bill Maher is doing pretty much the same thing he did on Politically Incorrect, and while I can't say I'm a fan, it's not like he has any real bearing on this topic (Kasparov good politician Americans bad politicians).

Chris Mathews being spot-on has nothing to do with whether Chris Mathews is generally a moron, he is saying that Kasparov isn't talking down to people like our own politicians do, and he's right! Have you heard any American politician talk about the dynamics of world oil prices in real terms?

You're trolling this thread with absolutely irrelevant garbage. Stop being an ass.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The comment at that point could have been taken either way, IMO.

Your opinion is full of crap.

"Are you relying on the polling results in a police state?"

It's pretty obvious what he is insinuating. Maybe you could've followed the interview if you weren't so busy working up your meaningless talking points.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It is a shame that these someone are both Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul.

The only people that are willing to speak their minds are unelectable ideologues.

I was speaking idiomatically.
