politics a la princess bride

According to a new study, people who voted for Barry have, how shall i put it, "no intellectual curiosity" . what a waste of money that study was. so now,  the most marketed politician ever is maneuvering to run a few media spots (in other words, nbc, cbs and abc will all be saying the same thing word for word)  where they will "manage and lower those expectations" of B.O you know, the ones where he was going to turn the economy around, wind down the war in iraq and heal the sick. so the question is, what can he do? as Vizzini said so well, " you were supposed to be this colossus, this great legendary thing..." and his astronomical IQ is being spent how? well, he's working really hard at choosing a puppy. and he works out faithfully. he's surrounding himself with idiots. (bill richardson for commerce!?) i guess so that he can seem smart by comparison.  "have you heard of Plato, Artistotle, Socrates? Morons!"  to prove your worthiness to work for his regime, oops, i mean staff- you just have to tell everyone how clever he is. but now it seems the mighty one is fresh out of words! no great ideas, no earth shattering solutions. it used to be change/hope/ hope/change blablahablah.  for the people of New York change has meant, less subway and bus runs, a lot less policemen and a whole gaggle of newly hired meter maids. the economic geniuses there think that will solve the money problem.  ah change.  try to hold on to some, you'll need it for the meter.  as Inigo wisely said, " you keep using that word, i don't think it means what you think it means."  so we wait for some wise new words, and yet, hear nothing. only leaks about new staff members as the market reacts. oh, did you get the memo on taking all your money out?   i used to worry about terrorists a little, now i worry about the muppet regime/cabinet a lot.  and i don't mean puppet. i mean, this is like the tryouts for the muppet show. only the real muppets were funny and more patriotic. it's hysterical. ok, i'm almost hysterical, and i mean that in the medical sense. what's nice is, people who didn't vote for the most brilliant man on earth already new what he was like. there are few surprises. but for his worshippers, the non curious, "i finally have hope", multiple registerers, i can only repeat what the man in black so succinctly said,  "get used to disappointment".  dinner: fish of course- it's brain food.
