The Rocky Mountain Collegian's seven student editors spent "several hours" trying to articulate how they felt about George Bush II, and the best they could come up with was: "Taser This: Fuck Bush". A caption below said, "this column represents the views of the Collegian's Editorial Board."
And apparently the Editorial Board's intellectual capability. The paper's editors told a local newscast reporter, "I think we could write 250words and ramble on and I don't think anyone would pay attention." That's quite an admission: He and his fellow editors lack the intellectual capacity to articulate and defend an anti-Bush position that rises above "rambling", and the paper lacks an audience interested in reading an editorial comprising a thesis, facts, and logic.
"We felt it illustrated our point about freedom of speech," he said. Well, it certainly did that.
