I think Sabre should be president. After all, the first representative
in office of a given demographic is usually shot, right? Hell, I'm sure
a loon that happens to be an incredible marksman with a poor memory
beyond his obession wouldn't be too expensive to hire.

I'll buy George Will as a conservative non-idiot. If he's the template
for a non-idiot, then the obvious choice for a liberal non-idiot would be
the columnist who alternates with him on the last page of Newsweek: Anna
Quindlen. Won the pulitizer prize for commentary in 1992. Wrote several
best selling novels. I don't think there's a political commentator working
who I think is more consistantly spot on. Here's a random sample essay:
http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/959312.asp. I love this line, talking about
those who advocate political change via violence:
[T]he problem with this is that it is ideology divorced from
humanity, empty as the transparent carapace of a cicada, the
living thing gone from within.
The image is startlingly exact. A political ideology without humanity at
it's core is essentially a dead thing. That kind of clear insight and
expressive writing is about as far as you can get from idiocy.

(I've not figured out if David Broder is liberal or conservative, but he's
not an idiot.)

Like they'll actually take anything Sabre says seriously. *snort* We
don't.

Hmmm...nobody seems willing to call Anna Quindlen an idiot. So how
about some easier ones, folks form the airy-fairy world of
entertainment? I'd suggest Paul Newman and Bill Cosby as further
examples of well-known liberals who are not idiots.

Don Henley is an idiot, albeit a well-meaning one. He joined the
effort to save the woodland around Walden Pond from threatened
development, but in the process caused the Thoreau Society to go
Hollywood. They shut down the Thoreau Lyceum and moved out of Concord
and into a lavish hunt club in Lincoln, where they preen themselves on
their money and their "liberal" show biz connections. They went from
granola to granola in the worst way imaginable. Do you think Henley
might've foreseen this? No, because he's an idiot.
Tim and Susan Robbins are idiots. Tim accused the Baseball Hall of
Fame of depriving him of his Constitutional right to free speech by
disinviting him to speak there. He actually seemed to believe what he
was saying. Susan is a rich bubblehead-leftist who just goes along
with all the other rich bubblehead-leftists. In other words, she's an
accidental hypocrite. The word "idiot" could hardly be better defined.
Gloria Steinem has become an embarrassment to other idiots.
Back here on Grex, Rane Curl sounds exactly like an idiot when he
boasts for the umpteenth time, like some memory-damaged great-uncle you
dread visiting, of his discovery that according to his dictionary the
opposite of liberal is illiberal -- the geriatric equivalent of a
teenager discovering that God spelled backward is dog.

#37 was the proof that I am an idiot and I am liberal. Whoa. Well, at
least I am not as much of an idiot as most of the folks around here ;)

Which Hollywood celebrity was it that went to Iraq, took a cursory
glance around, and then said he hadn't seen any WMD? He's an idiot.
Of course, the politicians who spend an afternoon in Iraq, flee to
Kuwait before nightfall, and then tell the journalists (who have been
living there day and night, getting bombed and shot at) that they're not
upbeat enough about the situation are also idiots.

although i have lost touch with henley's wife inteh ensuing years, i did
ahve the opportunity to learn a lot from her whilst i was
in nashville. she is stunning (even if 'short') and a RealPerson (tm).
lots of women end up being abused and she was one.
