The Dumbest Thing I’ve Read All Day:10/23

Lyn Davis Lear, Hollywood clinical psychologist and wife of Norman Lear, gets conspiratorial at the Huff-a-ton Post

Why is the White House so Eerily Confident about the Coming Elections?

All week I’ve been reading in disparate sources from Drudge to US News and World Report about Bush, Rove and Cheney being overly confident about the midterm elections.

(snip)

Here are some questions: Are these guys simply narcissistic idiots Rove-ing around in some never-never land bubble or do they know something we don’t? Have they planned a grab bag nose punch of an October/November surprise? Or have Diebold, ES&S, and local state secretaries assured them that they will do “whatever it takes” to get a Republican Congress elected again? Or are they just planning to outspend us?

She then goes on to quote Rove about his plan to outspend the Dems in the last two to three weeks before the election, but that doesn’t stop her from writing The Dumbest Thing I’ve Read All Day.

But whether it is hubris, loony tunes, or both, the White House’s freakish calm about the elections makes me as nervous as the hell we seem to be headed for. Therefore we should all be on alert. If for whatever reason we don’t win back Congress in November the only real answer will be to take to the streets.

I’m sure the wife of millionaire Hollywood producer will be right out there, slumming with the bourgeoisie, in protest. I hope they don’t rip her Prada as she chants the six year old mantra “Stay Out The Bushes!!!”

I found the link to this at Just Some Poor Schmuck, where John had the good sense to say

So if they lose, it can’t possibly be because they didn’t receive enough votes, it could only be because of a plot that rivals the 9/11 conspiracy in its complexity and nefariousness? They have convinced themselves that there are thousands of right-wing conspirators that have infiltrated the thousands of county election offices without anyone being the wiser.

Of course, John. They are so much smarter than us Reich-Wingers that they couldn’t possibly lose.
