Clarence Thomas: speaks very little (BAD) Hussein speaks a lot… about nothing (GOOD)
Ok Y’all know I don’t usually take swipes at other folks blogs because 99% of the time, well 100% of the time it tis pointless. The reason we all have blogs is to express our particular points of view.
Most bloggers are incurable narcissists. Even me, I have exceedingly strong opinions, most I share here, I share fewer in person depending on the audience.
I scan hundreds of websites throughout the week reading opinions and dissecting political discourse.
This little tidbit, for some reason caught my attention…From the blog: The “Bush”-Whacked Administration
“Two guys trying to make Sense more Common and who are out to prove that 50,456,002 Americans were wrong…and by the way, we’re left.”
(two guys vs 50 mil) wow!
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas hasn’t asked a question in 2 years and 142 cases the last time he asked a question was February 22, 2006. Thomas’ reasoning for not asking questions is, like him, shallow, saying “One thing I’ve demonstrated often in 16 years is you can do this job without asking a single question.” (Well Mr. Thomas, I think you mean you can ‘hold this job without asking a single question’… because I certainly don’t think you’re doing this job…)
Ooooooo! I found it laughable that a liberal Bush hating, Obama supporting blog, would bemoan the fact that Clarence Thomas chooses not to grandstand and ask a bunch of unnecessary questions, while this blog keeper is likely one of those who faints at Obama rallies after he gives two hour long ranting speeches on hope and other fantasy bullshit.
I’m just thinking about myself, I have served on 30 or more philanthropic boards, civic bodies and various organizations and looking back on it, I asked relatively few questions, mostly because I discovered that if you did your research and homework prior to attending one of these sessions, questions typically were unnecessary. I needed to ask a question only to clarify a specific point or issue, in an agenda items.
I developed a well deserved reputation on these bodies, and old foes would tell you, if (I) asked questions during a session, you had a problem, a really BIG problem.
Most elected folks ask numerous questions during committee sessions because it makes them feel good, they want their name in the official record as “participant,” for most yaks they simply want to grandstand.
As Thomas states in the article, most people just speak because they love the sound of their own voice. What is that line “brevity is the soul of wit?”
It stands to reason why liberals continue to equate empty hollow words with action and substance.
