AMUSING: The brother of a certain huffy-puffy-tantrummy radio talk show emcee wrote a column about his favorite president-elect, but thanks to a glitch it had Jo-NAH's byline, which caused some professional knee-jerk tantrum thrower to write a blog post, complete with the link to a now-corrected byline. Neither Cox nor said tantrum thrower has yet to see fit to correct the post.

And natch, the commenters (mostly of the usual my-opponent-is-evil mentalities) haven't noticed yet either, another endorsement for comments.

P. S.

They've preached bipartisanship while exhibiting the nastiest partisanship in my lifetime, calling Bush "King George III," "Hitler," a "murderer," a "war criminal," a "reckless cowboy," a "moron" and a "Christian throwback."

No one need to tell me of BDS, but he should not have included moron. Clearly Dubya's not the shiniest apple in the barrel. (I know all about his Hahvahd MBA; but Dr. Evil got one too.) Our history is pockmarked with presidents of dubious intelligence; most of the men between Jackson and Lincoln would qualify. The Adamses were flat-out brilliant. What did they do as president? Nixon was pretty bright too. I don't know where Harry S would have ranked on the IQ scale but that average man made a pretty well-above-average president. As we know from hard experience, because a man is president doesn't mean he can think.
