why are republicans so goddamn f**king stupid? 51% of the nation voted for these two inept neo-nazis! Hey repuGlicans: if you love cheney and his little dumbass (Great book by the way) stupid inbred dumbf**k so much, why not go to iraq? after all it IS a noble cause. Right?
The Daily Show has a markedly lower 50+ crowd than everyone else, and is still one of the most popular shows on television. Rush's show is obviously for older, affluent people, while Stewart's is these people's children who are still in college.The Republicans will always appear to be more intelligent statistically, that is because the Republicans are convservative and conservative appeals to older people. The people who are liberal now will get elected, change the country as they see fit, and in 20 years they will be considered conservative. Meanwhile their children will be liberals, and the cycle will repeat.
Also note how the age groups are distributed. 51% of Rush's audience is over 50 years old. This fact isn't clear from the table, but for every 20 year old that listens to Rush, there's a 100 year old that listens to him.Rush's audience extreme age might explain their knowledge, what's more impressive is the fact that the Daily Show's younger audience is of comparable knowledge and education.
@p0s3rHmmmm... last time I checked, we're sending more money to Iraq than to any state in the Union. So how exactly is Iraq not a part of the United States?Oh, that's right, because it's a smoking crater in a civil war and an embarrassment for the Administration. Yay freedom!

Rush, Dick, George, Condi, and all the rest of them should move to Baghdad for the duration of the WAR ON TERROR. If it's going so great.

Until I see Bush and Cheney picking up landmines, I don't believe a thing the administration says.

These people(the bush administration) need to get their collective heads out of their unlighted spaces.
