Another liberal supergenius reminds us that “Marcia Coakley” is only losing because the voters are too stupid to vote for her. This time, it’s Rep. Patrick Kennedy…a.k.a. “America’s Dumbest Congressman.”
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), speaking with a gaggle of reporters after the event, said that while state Sen. Scott Brown (R) offers voters a quick fix, in reality, the problems created by "George Bush and his cronies" are not so easily solved.
"If you think there's magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown," Kennedy said. "If you don't, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole ... then you know we have a lot of digging to do, but some work needs to be done and this president's in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that."
(Curiously, Kennedy mentioned Coakley repeatedly during his remarks to reporters, each time referring to her as "Marcia," not "Martha.")
And you know why the reporters never corrected him? Because they were too busy laughing their butts off.
Folks, everyone knows Martha Coakley’s a dim bulb, and Patches Kennedy is even worse. Everyone knows Barney “She’s Not Obama in Drag” is an arrogant jerk too dumb to grasp basic economic principles. The media have always known it. They’ve just never had to report it before. Now the new media/internet/talk radio are forcing their hands.
The legitimate journalists out there are happy to oblige. The secret is out. It’s “Dummies for Democrats in 2010!”
