**You get CNNNN over there? It was a wonderful series. Much was local

What I find amazingly stupid is that you havne't yet figured out the
CNN will wander the streets of America until they find an idiot, which
I grant isn't all that hard, but to conclude that those people are
"average Americans" is akin to me thinking its you out hunting Lebanese
at the beach this weekend.

As Lionel pointed out I was comparing Bush to his successor, the current
Texas governor.

I knew Bush's business and military "accomplishments" before he was elected
governor in TX. But surprisingly he did a good job keeping the democratic
process going and was generally well liked and respected in Austin (the
Texas state capital). Beyond politicians, he did a credible job across
cultural, religious and ethnic boundaries. His ability to communicate in
spanish is admirable (trust me on this)and his benign attitude toward Mexico
and Mexicans demonstrated that he had a mind of his own and that he wasn't
afraid to take a stand. When Bush became the president and his sidekick Rick
Perry took over, many Texans realized just how effective Bush was. Below are
some examples of just how bad it can be.

Governor Rick Perry speaks :-)

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=IIVQ3L0UQVI9

Rick Perry governs:

http://www.sierratimes.com/03/05/13/ap_chickendems.htm

and again, a couple of months later:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/...in565622.shtml

Compared to the above, Bush was downright brilliant.

And I wasn't the only one on the planet BTW. : -) I'm too lazy to check
but I believe that Texas population alone exceeds that of Australia and many
of the 23 million *documented* Texans were in a prime position to observe
the same kind of things as I did.

Cheers,

Margaret

As Lionel pointed out I was comparing Bush to his successor, the current
Texas governor.

**I take your point and it seems quite reasonable. Were Texans aware of his
previous shakey history, before voting for Dubya?


I knew Bush's business and military "accomplishments" before he was
elected governor in TX. But surprisingly he did a good job keeping the
democratic process going and was generally well liked and respected in
Austin (the Texas state capital). Beyond politicians, he did a credible
job across cultural, religious and ethnic boundaries. His ability to
communicate in spanish is admirable (trust me on this)and his benign
attitude toward Mexico and Mexicans demonstrated that he had a mind of his
own and that he wasn't afraid to take a stand. When Bush became the
president and his sidekick Rick Perry took over, many Texans realized just
how effective Bush was. Below are some examples of just how bad it can be.

Compared to the above, Bush was downright brilliant.

And I wasn't the only one on the planet BTW. : -) I'm too lazy to check
but I believe that Texas population alone exceeds that of Australia and
many of the 23 million *documented* Texans were in a prime position to
observe the same kind of things as I did.

**Yikes! It seems that the bar for public officials in Texas is very low
indeed.

**You get CNNNN over there? It was a wonderful series. Much was local
humour, but, of course, we always enjoy laughing at the stupidity of
the average American.

Much of the "stupidity" associated with Americans is actually frivolous
pursuit of our own interests that is exceedingly well disguised.
Usually the "smart ones" end up losing.

**Yep.



Watching that clip again, makes me realise how Dubya got voted in -
TWICE. I guess stupid Americans got a President with the same level of
intelligence.

I voted for him one time and regret it now.

Certainly those with keen interest in politics were. For example, when Larry
Flynt (Hustler publisher) announced his highly publicized "investigation" of
an abortion Bush had paid for in Houston some years earlier, it was no news
at all to many politically active Texans. Overall, the national exposure
that resulted from the presidential campaign wasn't actually not as juicy as
it could have been.

I believe that Bush was elected governor because four years of hard
drinking, chain smoking, Harley riding biker started to scare the average
Texan. Even if bigger is better.

You must not be familiar with Lousiana, then!

And, perhaps a formerly hard drinking, cigar smoking, Harley bike
riding Texas Jewboy will be the NEXT governor of Texas.

Officially, Richards was "clean" too by the time she was elected governor.
And some say she merely fell victim to the old adage "it's not how you are,
it's how you are perceived". And some know better.

There was a nasty Rovian whisper campaign against Richards that played
better outside of Austin than in.

Bush was generally liked in Austin despite his political views. Stuff
like Bush twin gossip and bike accidents, like the time he had to dive
out of the way of a falling garbage truck, made him easier to identify
with at the local level.

What I find amazingly stupid is that you havne't yet figured out the
CNN will wander the streets of America until they find an idiot, which
I grant isn't all that hard, but to conclude that those people are
"average Americans" is akin to me thinking its you out hunting Lebanese
at the beach this weekend.

**Thanks for proving my point, Scott. It's CNNNN, not CNN.

Stupid Americans. Sheesh!

BTW: YOU forget that I have visited America and have spoken to many. I
KNOW
exactly how stupid the average American is. Which, I hasten to add, is a
subset of all Americans. Clearly a proportion of Americans do, actually,
know where Australian, France, Iraq and Korea actually are. I'll betcha
that
before he launched a war on them, Dubya had absolutely no idea where Iraq
was. Dubya is a part of that subset of stupid Americans. You need to be
embarrassed that you have such an utter moron running your nation.


I don't know where Australian is.

**MY typo. Australia, of course. If you don't know where Australia is, hang
your head in shame.

I know where Australia is. Frankly I don't know anyone who I think
doesn't know where it is although its not a daily conversation.

Do you really think Aussies have
so much to be proud of?

**Strawman. The vast majority of Aussies know where the US and France are.

You keep freaking out about America while
your own country seems to be far less than perfect.

**Strawman noted.

Fine... Explain why a "satire" leads you to this:
" we always enjoy laughing at the stupidity of the
average American. Watching that clip again, makes me realise how Dubya
got
voted in - TWICE. I guess stupid Americans got a President with the
same
level of intelligence. "

Is that an average real american or an average satirical
representation of a real american. Your comment on Bush leads one to
think you can't draw the line between real life and satire.

I think we should do a satire of Australians. We can call it Under
Down Under. Lets see... what shall we cast...
I know.... one segment of the pops will be middle eastern immigrants
who prowl the rich burbs looking for white women to gang rape.....
another segment will be Islamic fundamentalists who prowl the beaches
insisting bikini clad women cover themselves, who then go for a rowdy
game of football and beat the hell out of the lifeguards who ask them
to stop.... and the final segment will be a bunch bat carrying nazi
skinheads who prowl the streets drunk at night looking for people of
middle eastern appearance to terrorize. The remainder will be a bunch
of shrimp on the barbie, uneducated fat slobs.
Oh.... I forgot the surfer gangs..... we need a bunch of knob legged
hooligans (there are lots of sharks in Australia you know).

Only problem is... how do we make sure people know its satire?
