Dumber Than Bush: His Student Critics

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.
