APR New Political Voice

APR has a new political voice and that voice belongs to Penn and Teller. Actually just Penn Jillette. You may know him from Dancing with the Stars but I know him from B*llsh*t on Showtime.

Here's a witty, funny and pointed commentary he did on CNN about the elections. I don't know how this got through the editors at the Clinton News Network.

Here are some funny points he made.


The idea, especially from the Democrats that I know, is, we just get a smarter guy in the White House, and all the problems will go away. We'll have smart speeches, smart high gas prices, smart bad economy, smart war on terrorism, smart war on drugs, smart hurricanes, smart global warming, smart war in Georgia -- smart, smart, smart.

We need someone stupid enough to understand that the president of the United States can't solve many problems without taking away freedom and therefore shouldn't try. The only reason John McCain scares me a little less is because I think he's a little less likely to win. They both promise a government that will watch over us, and I don't like that.

Our first seven presidents averaged a bit more than three public speeches a year, and they didn't promise jobs for everyone, day care, dental exams and free stuff.
