The Daily Snark

Curiouser and Curiouser

Conservatively unhinged Faux talker (though he's on Another Network) Joe Scarborough continues to draw comment for his segment last week entitled, "Is Bush an Idiot?" According to this report, the segment consisted of "a montage of clips of Bush's famously inarticulate verbal miscues" and discussion with right and center guests on "whether Bush is smart enough to be president."

The story then quotes Joe concluding the segment with his bold belief that "we do need a president who, I think, is intellectually curious," though not, perish the thought, a thoughtful person.

"And that is a big question," Scarborough said, "whether George W. Bush has the intellectual curiousness -- if that's a word -- to continue leading this country over the next couple of years."

No, Joe, it is not a word. The question with Joe and GW seems to be, which one is dumb and which one is dumber? And just out of curiosity... can anybody here speak this language?
