Little Brains

My wife and I have a rather indelicate and un-Christian moniker to apply to liberals, fascists, communists (forgive the redundancy), mean people, people with loud mouths but few facts - little brains.

I haven't been writing lately because I got overwhelmed by the continued, abject stupidity of the little brains. Michael Moore screaming that Disney cold-cocked him on distribution, only to admit a few days later that he knew about the move a year ago - he just wanted some instant publicity. And he got it. Listening to the dems scream about the "jobless recovery" - then watching them switch gears when 950,000 jobs were created in the last three months. Listening to Al Gore become completely unhinged ... my word, that guy needs medication. He's gonna blow a gasket. Change the soundtrack to a 1939 rally, digitize a one inch by two inch moustache just under his nose ... Adolph, how we have missed you, mein fuehrer.

Back to little brains. They have sapped my available energy. Every time I have hoped to write, there came another one. Yesterday was a perfect example.

CNN lists the possible vice presidential candidates. Under "Bill Clinton," it reads, "While federal law prohibits a person from seeking a third presidential term, the Constitution does not specify whether or not a former commander in chief can become vice president."

Very clear. Not open to interpretation. But, alas, completely wrong.

First, "federal law" and the "Constitution" are two different things. CNN seems to get this. That's a good thing. Unfortunately for CNN, it is the Constitution that prohibits a POTUS for serving a third term. And that is not even an accurate statement. If the first term was not elected (like Gerald Ford) and less than two years (unlike Gerald Ford), then the sitting POTUS could serve two additional complete terms.

The 22d Amendment to the Constitution is very clear: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

Any questions so far, Little Brained CNN? Let's move to the second issue ("the Constitution does not specify whether or not a former commander in chief can become vice president"). Oh, this is so painful.

The 12th Amendment: "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

How incredibly stupid can CNN be? No. Wrong question. They surely must know this. The point is that they believe we do not know it. What to generate excitement over Bullwinkle J. Moose running for POTUS? Bring back Bubba!! YEAH!! There's no law or nothing that says he can't be veep!!!

Wow. Just shut up CNN.
