BloggeRhythms 12/15/2012

Thinking about yesterday’s entry regarding Andrea Mitchell inane commentary about Susan Rice’s withdrawal as nominee for Secretary of State, reconfirmed the tendency among liberals to politically slant just about every imaginable issue. And that’s understandable, I suppose.
 
But what I don’t really comprehend is that considering how often the statements, stories and fables they come up with make them look like absolute, abject morons, I wonder why they keep walking into the same walls verbally.
 
After considerable thought on the matter, I concluded that they're either truly too thick to comprehend the most basic situations of any type or simply don’t mind or care about appearing dense as granite. Or perhaps, they grasp the fact that their base is so intellectually dim they’ll buy anything presented by anyone representing them.
 
And that got me perusing about this Mitchell’s husband, Alan Greenspan. Because he did an outstanding job as Fed Chairman for four presidents, beginning in 1987 for Ronald Reagan, then H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and continuing on to W” later on.
 
In that regard, I’ve always believed it was Greenspan’s spectacular performance at the Fed that made Slick Willy’s presidency seem as successful as it was, giving Willy the room for all the colossal screw-ups that otherwise might have sunk him. Because as long as the economy hums, most Americans don’t care very much about who’s in the White House or what else those clowns do while there.
 
But coming back to today’s subject. I also recall some comments Greenspan made after leaving the Fed. In critiquing his own performance there, he said something along the lines of not being as flawless as perceived and perhaps focusing only on money isn’t the best thing for people. And I think he said that because he was spending more time with his wife, Mitchell, and also suspected she was on his back demonizing him as a money-hungry Republican.
 
Now, whether that’s really case, I surely don’t know. But in any event, I do believe that trying to explain the financial system of the most complex economy on the planet to all on a daily basis as Fed chairman had to be an easier job than dealing with a world-class simpleton at home.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
