Actual conversation overheard in line on Thursday. I am not making any of this up, including the choice phrases used:
Customer 1: Hey, isn't that the Treasury of State? Greenstein or something?
Customer 2: Yeah. But it's not Greenstein…it's Greenberg or something.
Customer 1: I dunno his name. What's he doing on The View?
Customer 2: Didn't he get kicked out of office or something for some kind of scandal?
Customer 1: I think he resigned. Some sort of thing with that girl who he got special favors from.
Customer 2: You mean like Clinton?
Customer 1: No, no. Like he helped her get her position, that sort of thing.
Excuse me while I go hit my head against the wall a couple dozen times. I'm afraid whatever they have might be catching, and I want to get rid of it before it gets me, too.

LOL. If you can overlook how depressing this level of, er, 'intelligence' is, it's pretty amusing.

Doesn't Chris Rock have a bit on "average" C students where he points out GWB was a C student and then asks you to remember the C students in your class at high school? Yeah. Sounds like more C students.

No, no, no… [shakes head in disbelief]
Sadly, I can believe it. This is what happens when the majority of the population gets their information from very filtered and over-processed sound bites.
Again, I weep for the future.

Their votes count just as much as yours. Fortunately, its unlikely that they will use theirs.

So, was it Wolfowitz?
