Re: Why is there a minimum age for the Presidency
Quote:
Frigging lemmings. "Jon Stewart says GWB is stupid so it must be true." Want to know something ironic...a lot of GWB's success - especially when bending the Dems to his will - is due to the fact that they are ignorant enough to actually believe their own press releases about GWB being dumb. Minunderestimation kills. BTW - too bad history can never prove me right, but GWB would whoop Obama's ass in 2008 if there were no term limits. Believe it.

 You've gone from one inaccuracy to another. Just like how Si Modo and jviehe have pointed out how I posted McCain's age incorrectly, Stewart does the same. In fact he hasn't done a "Bush is stupid" joke as far as I can remember.

Re: Why is there a minimum age for the Presidency
Quote:
You're intimating that to your knowledge, Jon Stewart (of The Daily Show) has not (to borrow a term) impugned GWB's intelligence on his show ever - forgeddabout regularly? Not hard to find even though Daily Show clips are under tight control by Comedy Central. Quote:
He does go on to say in a typically non-serious fashion that he doesn't think Bush is "stupid" even though "people always say that he is stupid" - according to him Bush talks as if he were talking to somebody who was "stupid". The whole segment is built upon the "Bush is stupid" mantra the Dems have been repeating since 1999. There are countless Daily Show segments built upon the same nonsense.

Re: Why is there a minimum age for the Presidency

One of the main problems I have with the US constitution is that it invests all executive power in one man-and he isn't even allowed a true cabinate in classical style. While this was useful once, the job is too much for him, no matter how much assistance he is given through EXOP (possably the wrong accronym?) and the deparments-at the end of the day he is the only one with true executive power.

Re: Why is there a minimum age for the Presidency
All three branches - Executive, Legislative, and Judicial - have equal power. Checks and balances is the design.
