Who Is Really Being Stupid Here?

Hugh Hewitt quotes former comedian Chevy Chase after the lastest Despocrat hatefest:

"I'm frightened by Bush, if you want to know the truth. He's a narcissist, as are we all. But, eh, he's managed to, ah, you know, form a few hate groups into a, ah, an entire Islamic jihad, and I, ah, I don't trust him. I don't like him. And I think he's venal, and I just don't like him, for the record. I want him out. I want Kerry in."

Gee Chevy, what would it take for you to get it? Would it take some self-styled "holy warrior" hacking your head off with a dull butcher's knife? Will you finally understand that there really is such a thing as an evil ideology and willfully evil people even when your mind is slowly blacking out as some masked savage waves your disconnected head around in front of a video camera?

Somehow I would doubt it.

Alexander Marriott has another quote from this astonishingly talentless jerk:

"Socialism works ... [and] Cuba might prove that. I think it's conclusive that there have been areas where socialism has helped to keep people at least stabilized at a certain level."

Of course to anyone with a functional set of neurons the island of Cuba is a tropical slave labor camp where the mass of the inhabitants are kept in a state of enforced poverty while the Castro family and the other elite overseers of the socialist plantation live in conditions of luxury and privelege.

Believe it or not, this particular state of affairs actually bothers some people.

I'm also sorry to say that I actually paid money to see a Chevy Chase movie, twice.

My barracks roomate at the Benning School for Boys dragged me out to see National Lampoon's Vacation, I ended up spending most of that time in the video game area playing the STAR TREK game. I also sat through Deal of the Century.

My lack of God, what a piece of pro-soviet propaganda, and a total waste of the talents and time of Gregory Hines and Sigorney Weaver.

I used to believe that Comrade Chase's repeated reminders that Francisco Franco was dead was merely an attempt to create a pythonic sense of surreality during the first year of Saturday Night Live, but given his continued adherence to the doctrine of socialism he may have been simply giving voice to his confusion as to why the people of Spain didn't rise up and restore the socialist thugocracy that Franco overthrew.

In any case to say that I -- or anyone else -- is not Chevy Chase should qualify as a complement.
