Hehe, Sigvald, as a Republican I enjoy the antics of the Demos, too. It doesn’t it matter to me who runs their show and the entertainment factor is pure profit.

On the Republican side, the clowns are far less funny. They are turning the Bush presidency into one of *those* administrations, the ones historians point out as pardigms of corruption and incompetence. The kind that bring down empires…

Monky: Now, now. Howard Dean isn’t the stupidest man on earth, though he may well do an excellent job of aiding the destruction of the Democrat party with his random, costly, and ineffective actions as DNC Chair.

As for the aide quote, yeah, that sure is where it’s from. It’s amusing, though, that an anonymous aide’s quote is taken as Gospel (pun intended) as to the actual beliefs and actions of the Administration.

I guess there’s nothing as seductive as being told exactly what you already believe, regardless of any counter-evidence, is there?

Why not be honest and call yourself a proud member of the “you’re either stupid or evil if you don’t agree with me community?”

Good idea. I’ll change my template.

Maybe the split should be “Reality-based” and “Feith-based”. Carefully considered actions vs. random, costly and ineffective actions thought up by “the stupidest fucking guy on the face of the earth.”

I think this would sum up the current difference between Democrats and Republicans nicely.

The origin of it as used on liberal blogs is very obviously–and was explicitly explained to be when people started adding it as a tagline–from the quotation, not by analogy to “faith-based.” But it does wear a bit thin.

Joe, I guess it just depends what circles you hang out in. Absolutely every liberal blog-reader knows about the aide’s comments, due to their scandalous implications regarding the Bush administration’s epistemic practices. Really, it was THE big story a couple of months back. If you haven’t come across the quote before, then you clearly don’t read liberal blogs, and thus aren’t in much of a position to be speculating about what is or isn’t “well known” to their audiences.
