Dumber than dirt, except when compared to other progressives

'President Romney'?

“Eric Alterman is a Distinguished Professor of English, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, and Professor of...”

This implies an intelligence not evident in the article.

“So while the Tea Party amateurs—the naïve and frequently ill-informed pawns of wealthy corporate funders like the Koch brothers and their ilk who served as foot soldiers for the lunatic candidacies of Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich—may have pined for a more “authentic” conservative than Romney, the pros always knew better. As Norquist himself explained, “We just need a president who can sign the legislation that the Republican House and Senate pass. We don’t need someone to think. We need someone with enough digits on one hand to hold a pen.””

He is complaining about the quality of the candidate being too low?  Actually this is what is called trash talk.  No need at accuracy, them’s just fighting words.  What it means is he is acknowledging Berry doesn’t have a chance. But let’s go back: Tea Party amateurs? They are electing their supporters unlike the Dem’s professionals. And “lunatic candidacies of Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich” Is there anything here but the ‘policy of personal destruction.’ Lunacy is doubling down on stupid.

If it doesn’t work do it some more.

“A Romney victory would likely bring with it a large majority in the House and quite possibly a Republican Senate as well, and hence a tsunami of regressive legislation.” Wait! Isn’t he reading this stuff?  Why would such an incompetent cause the sweep of both houses?  Like Lincoln who was told Grant was a drunk, “find out what he is drinking, and send some to my other generals”.

I get it he viewing the world upside down.  Good is Bad, Up is down, Liberal is smart.
