I have to steal and share this one. On another board a question about the founding fathers was posed. One of the response went like this:

Most of them [the founding fathers] were very learned intellectuals. Many people today revere them, but they yet disparage scholarship and intellectualism in government. If there is one thing I think was great about them that could be applied today, it was this one thing that is so disparaged today. None of them would be electable today, because they were thinkers who used big words.

So, I got to thinking… The “elitist” tag Republicans like to use which is so dripping in anti-intellectualism could very well be used against them. An ad showing the founding fathers waxing intelligent in high-minded, substantive debate juxtaposed to one of the crash-test dummies bumbling around and pushing the button while trying answer the 3:00 p.m. intercom…

Well, you can learn a lot from a dummy.

As Clinton says (with the dummy Pres. Bush in the background): No Way, No How, No McCain!
