Cry Of The Loon …(Nothing…Anything…Something)

Can an idiot be both contradictory and ironic? Well, This one can. The moron of the Midwest does it easily a couple times a day without even recognizing it. Ed spends so much time blabbering into the microphone that he often gives credence to Republican criticisms of Democrats. He wants so very much to condemn Republicans and their ideas but one almost wants to call and thank him for making the argument for us.

Ed mentioned on his show that Social Security does not need to be dealt with at this time in American history because we are running huge deficits. He said we couldn’t afford to make it solvent because there is not enough money to pay for it. His feelings were that the deficit should trump any Social Security reforms. If you had only heard his show for those few minutes, you could accept his argument. However, if you heard the man speak the week before about how he could not understand how Republicans could cut spending in their budget plans, you would think deficits were not that big of a deal. Confused? Me too. Somehow Ed can wrap his little mind around both arguments. I know him…….i am not surprised.

Another instance of Ed confusing the argument is when he talked this past week about relinquishing Rev. Jerry Fallwell’s tax-exempt status. It might be my imagination but for every Jerry Fallwell the right has there is a Jesse Jackson for the left. Both men are given tax-exempt status. If we call for the end of Rev. Fallwell’s status should we not also call for an end to Jackson’s status? Not in Ed’s world.

Idiots can speak. It is what they say that makes them idiots. It is very similar to when Ted Kennedy talks about someone drowning or swimming. One is left to wonder if they even realize how easily they make themselves out to be idiots. My hunch is Ed does not. He is to busy spewing nothing that never really amounts to anything that only he believes is something. Confused? I’m sure he is.
