"Intelliphobia" - The fear of learning FACTS about any political issue from any other source but FOX NOISE and the FOXpublicans. You can tell an "intelliphobe" by their behavior patterns: repeating lies over and over at a higher volume each time; they believe that action makes their lies true. (a technique perfected by Bush). Also refusing to use reason or logic to respond, or they will, when confronted directly, simply not respond at all.
The "intelliphobe" is a dying bread, first showing their faces in late 01 early 02, they were strong then, by the 04 election they had fallen off to about 51% of the population, they were how ever able to secure the 04 election, that alone has cost the US over 3000 more children, DEAD in Iraq, because of FEAR of Intelligence. It 06 we saw the first significant CHANGE when Democrats were given a SLIM majority in Congress. (note: this is not a veto proof majority, and prior to 06 Bush and NEVER used his veto pen, since over 100 times). The 51% has now died off to about 15% of Americans who suffer with this illness, and it is expected that between November 08 and Jan 09 they will be almost entirely extinct, with the exception of the FOX NOISE GROUP where it is believed this disease started, theirs will be a long process of "healing".
So don't worry, use this information to help them, don't judge them, as they are a dying bread and it is their fear that makes them irrational, and say things they know to NOT be true. Just try to help them and eventually TOGETHER we will have a great country again ;).

The original, revealing mistake, of course, was tapping Jim Johnson in first place to be the guy to vet Obama's vice presidential choices.
On one level, and at first glance, Johnson seemed to be the perfect, even unavoidable, choice. He is a fixture here; he is what passes for a Washington wise man these days. The son of a prominent Minnesota Democratic legislator, he came to Washington in the 1970, part of the "Minnesota Mafia" that surrounded Walter Mondale.
Tall and courtly, Johnson was not a lawyer, but had the bearing of one. He was famous for his starched white shirts and corporate demeanor. He ran Mondale's 1984 presidential race, a disaster that lost 49 states, yet Johnson somehow emerged with his reputation for probity and good management enhanced. He has been involved as a top inside political player in almost every Democratic general-election campaign since. He was closer to the Clintons, of course, but also had made a shrewd decision to move to Obama this time around.
Johnson has a genius for looking as bland as vanilla.
So when it came time for Obama to pick a guy to vet his veeps, Johnson was a natural, or so Obama and his top advisers, David Axelrod and Washington lawyer Greg Craig, must have thought. And who would care anyway?
Well, that was wrong on almost too many levels to count. If they had thought about it for more than a minute, they would have realized that Johnson is the very embodiment of the world they had been running against: a fabulously wealthy man who had gotten that way by manipulating the tangled strings of money and power in the capital, and whose chief calling card to many who admire him is not his mind but his access to other people's bundled cash.
