In the last couple of days, old Ricky-boy has surpassed my wildest expectation of idiocy.
First he said that Kennedy's famous speech on the firm separation of church and state "made me want to vomit." Uh-huh. So apparently the Constitution makes him nauseous. Lovely.
A bit later he said, "President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college, what a snob. There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor. And trying to indoctrinate them."
Right, Rick. God forbid we engender the ambition to go to college and become, you know, all smart and stuff. (Especially women -- it's so hard to keep 'em barefoot and pregnant when they get theirselves an eddication. Why, next thing you know they'll be all radicalized, wantin' equal pay and access to family planning *gasp*)
He went on to say (which I happen to agree with) that people should have more access to non-four-year options, like vocational/technical skills. However, I expect he missed the part where Obama said that exact same thing, back in February 2009: "And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship."
Gawd, this man is moron. Mitt and his "couple of Cadillacs" isn't much better. But the plus side, it's looking more and more likely that Obama will win in 2012 :)
