I Give Up On Trying To Get It...

I will never understand why people who seem to be as smart as Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Neal Boortz can be so mind-bogglingly blind to the things going on around them. Especially when they lay heavy claims to intellectual integrity and honesty (something Mr. Hannity talks about ad nauseum on his radio show) cannot do, or rather will not do and admit that even a most minor and casual level of research can debunk the majority of their shallow views.

Love the government. They're only doing it to protect you. They can do no wrong...blah, blah, blah.

Okay, maybe they're not that shallow. I mean, after all, they do have some differences with the president and the party line. They're potato-chip kind-of-guys, and the president is a pretzel man. (*Snicker* Sorry, couldn't resist that one.) And I can almost understand why Sean and Rush are like that. I'm sure Rush stays so doped up he has trouble remembering what order the initials in "EIB" go in and Hannity is so blinded by the reflection from his enormous forehead and chin he can't see what's in front of him, but... Neal Boortz honestly surprises me.

You can listen to Neal and tell that he really is that smart. He sounds smarter and more experienced than Sean and Rush. But he can turn around and say some of the most mentally-defecient things that you will ever hear, and when you hear him say it you have more of a "What the heck?!?!?" moment than you would if Limbaugh or Hannity said it. I just don't get it. Sooooo many people as smart as these guys ... hell, even people relatively dumb as a sack of hammers can do the research to see the truth, to see why the Bush needs to be trimmed.

I just don't get it. Maybe its time to move on and get another rant.
