Hooplehead Logic with Senator Claghorn


Yesterday Lord Kadizzle met Senator Claghorn at the local slummers paradise store. Kadizzle had been anxious to meet Claghorn to get his reaction to Kadizzle's latest rant in the Guzuntiet Gazette. The Guzuntiet Gazette is the local paper. Kadizzle knew steam would come out Claghorn's ear when he read Kadizzle's attack on the Hoopleheads.

A major part of the letter dealt with the Hoopleheads reaction to Obama's recent speech to school children. Kadizzle asked Claghorn "What was wrong with the speech, he just told the kids to study hard, stay in school and take responsibility for themselves?". Claghorn replied "It was all just Conservative philosophy". Kadizzle "Isn't that what you believe in?". Claghorn "Yes, but Obama doesn't believe it, so he should not have said it to school children". Kadizzle " Wow, Claghorn, Obama says to the kids exactly what any conservative would call ideal and he is criticized?". So it turns out according to Claghorn that conservatives have a monopoly on studying hard, personal responsibility, and staying in school.

Rush started criticizing the speech before Obama ever made it. Rush, and the other right wing dingers were sure that there would be something in it they could attack. When it turned out the speech contained nothing they disagreed with, they claimed it was a trick, because Obama did not really believe it. Claghorn was parroting the Hooplehead doctrine put out by Rush. So as it turns out, no matter what Obama said it was wrong. If he agreed with the Hooples it was a trick and if he didn't he was a dirty socialist. This is Hooplehead logic it is infallible. Claghorn served in the ND legislature for many years and his most famous quote was "Education just confuses people", good thing Rush doesn't.
