From David Limbaugh:
I believe Gen. Russel Honore's classic admonition to reporters, "Don't get stuck on stupid," was one of the best lines so far of the new millennium. Part of its enduring value is its uncanny applicability to politics these days.
Honore made the statement to reporters who insisted on asking questions about Katrina when he was trying to focus on Rita. He said there would be plenty of time later to sort through inadequacies in the government's response to Katrina, but for now they need to deal with Rita's impending wrath.
"Don't get stuck on stupid," thus became an instant metaphor – at least to me – for "Quit playing gotcha, quit dwelling in the past, and help us with solutions."
Honore's metaphor perfectly fits the behavior of Washington Democrat politicians and caterwauling liberal loons since 2000 – that's right, the entire millennium, so far. In their singular obsession with George W. Bush – "hatred" is probably more accurate – they have been "stuck on stupid."
To clarify, I'm not calling Washington Democrats and the whacko left fringe stupid. Far from it. I am saying, though, that their perspective has been tainted by their consuming antipathy for George Bush.
