In case you were wondering why Democrats chances in November are beginning to look like Custer’s chances at the Little Big Horn, wonder no more. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has the answer:
Voters are friggin’ stupid.
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.
You mean like “Yes We Can,” Senator?
Oh, we beg your pardon. We seem to have interrupted our intellectual superior while he was musing.
Kerry made the remarks on voters following questions about U.S. Rep Barney Frank’s re-election campaign and queries about securing federal funding for the Hub hospital.
“I think a lot of the anger today – while it’s appropriate because Washington is broken – is not directed at the right people,” said Kerry. “Barney is prepared, as others are, to explain what we’re doing. I think when people hear the facts and they see what we’re doing, it frankly makes sense.”
Sadly, Kerry is correct. We’re all stupid. If we were smarter, we would all marry rich, ugly widows one after another, which would allow us to wile away our lives living in big houses, sailing big yachts and shooting off our big mouths.
But it would take a really smart guy to figure out a devious scheme like that.
