Deliberately Stupid

OW has a post about the deliberate pose of stupidity many on the Right take. To prove his point, one of his righty commentators writes:

Speaking of “Stupid on Purpose”…

2 Days ago, Oliver intimates that the lackluster performance in the stock market should be laid at Bush’s feet. 48 hours later, the NASDAQ and S&P hit 4 1/2 year Highs.

Any bets as to whether Oliver will give Bush credit for this new development?

The NASDAQ and S&P hitting 4 1/2 year highs means that it's taken 4.5 years for the market to get back to the level it was at in May of 2001. I'll happily give Bush credit for that tremendous accomplishment.
