THE NEVERENDING MORON ...

The Neverending Moron....

Perpetual Moron and Hypocrite Alec Baldwin What more can America do to rid itself of the irritating, self-important moron known as Alec Baldwin (right)? Previously, the washed-up Hollywood thespian promised that he would leave the country if George W. Bush were elected President. But sad to say, this would-be Jane Fonda clone was not a man of his word and is still with us, as reported by several Florida newspapers yesterday.

Baldwin told a Florida A&M University audience that memories of Sept. 11 have overshadowed public doubts about the 36-day recount of Florida presidential ballots. He said the war makes it hard for Bush critics to remind voters of "this other disaster that we faced in this country - a disaster that ... has done as much damage to our country as any terrorist attack could do."

Yes indeed, a year and a half after the event, Americans are still secretly obsessing about the Florida recount and questioning the election of George W. Bush as their President. And like Alec the Moron, they know in their hearts that what the country really needed after 9/11 was Al Gore as their Commander-in-Chief.

Oh dear, talk about living in an alternate reality. What illegal substance has Alec the Moron been chronically abusing that he can say with a straight face that "this other disaster that we faced in this country" -- namely the 32-day Florida Presidential recount (now completely forgotten by 99% of the planet, excepting Alec, Norman Lear and Tipper Gore) -- "has done as much damage to our country as any terrorist attack could do".

Oh yes, terrible damage. The American nation has responded almost as one, under the leadership of a determined President Dubyah, to counter the terrorist threat from afar. And despite the terrible damage and loss of life on September 11th, morale is high, optimism is returning to the lives of everyday Americans, and even the economy is beginning to stir.

But an isolated, bitter few -- like the moronic Baldwin brothers and the likes of Bill Press and the New York Times editorial board -- cannot let go of their 'Gore was robbed' fantasy. In their hearts, they know that only an "informed, enlightened" elite like themselves know what is best for the American people. And to put the matter crudely, it simply pisses them off that the American people won't abide by the judgement of their "betters" and realize that they are missing out on the many, many benefits of a "progressive" Gore presidency. Instead, the Great Unwashed have affirmed the legitimacy of the Bush Presidency by steadily bestowing record approval ratings on their commander in chief.

What Alec the Moron and his ilk can't see is that the memories of 9/11 haven't clouded the judgement of the American people. Rather, it's opened up their eyes to the corrupt, morally-enervating reality that was the Clinton "progressive" presidency. And it's made them realize how very lucky America was on November 2000 that a principled, straight-talking guy like Dubyah became their leader, rather than the calculating, indecisive and morally bankrupt human robot called Al Gore. ***
