Just to follow up, I see this post by Ken Layne says this:
Just more proof that there are only two political sides in the world: Smart and Dumb.
Sorry, Ken, the difference between Tom DeLay and Al Gore isn't a matter of Smart and Dumb. You can spend all day stroking each others' egos with a round of "anti-idiotarian" backslapping, but there are vastly different political viewpoints out there which have little or nothing to do with the intelligence or debating club skills of their proponents.
