George Osborne, of course, is a British Conservative Party politician. British politicians come much dumber than George Osborne. Ed Miliband, for instance. This YouTube video of Miliband repeating the same line over and over apparently unable to get off his one single talking point causing the interview to stall is just flat embarrassing.
Plus the Photoshop misses the point of the challenge. Whereas Iowa Hawk suggests two mismatched characters, member natty dread shows how dumb he is by using two real life people he thinks are dumb and matches them, British and American conservative politicians. It's axiomatic, conservatives are dumb. Ha ha ha, get it? Get it? Conservatives are dumb.
This is why my misanthropic streak has developed such that I just don't like people anymore. I just don't. I don't like socializing anymore. I'm surprised I still get invitations. It puts me on the spot begging off all the time. I honestly don't know why people bother. I don't want to have lunch with people, I don't want to attend pot lucks, I don't want to go to parties, I don't want to go out and do things with people, I don't want to invite them over.
Two can play this obnoxious game. I can clutter the board too. I can do this all night long. Liberal politicians say dumb things every single day. Every hour of every day, it seems, we are treated with something incredibly stupid. Name a liberal politician from the top to the bottom and we can list the dumb things they've said.

I know that feeling. This will be a weekend of dealing with it. Today there's a wedding of a young and semi-distant relative to his girlfriend/roommate/whatever. It will be held at hunt club of some kind because the happy couple is all anti-religion and pro-Obama and ultra-progressive and so forth. Except when you ask either of them a question about politics or life in general, the answer is mostly a blank gaze and the sound of air whistling past synapses. They and their siblings and friends are still in the beer pong, flippy cup, puke in the corner and start again phase of life so the reception should be just totally wonderfully fun and I can simply hardly wait to be a part of it.
Then tomorrow there is a baptism, something I usually relish and enjoy, except in this instance the mom is the one who organized the baptism and the dad is a vocal atheist who has promised to stand in the back of the church and sulk during the ceremony, and afterwards explain for the umpty-eleventh time how religion has started all of the wars in the world forever and so forth. But! We then go to the couple's home for some kind of meal made of things form a grocery store deli and hear more lectures on the eeeevils of religion from the dad who should be nothing more than happy and happier on a lovely summer Sunday afternoon.
Grumble grumble grumble grumble.
Get your Irish up.
You should assume the Left had a goal of making you feel less wholesome than an American should, and refuse them their objective.
The Spirit of Life is alive and well in Milwaukee.
Powers and Redbreast 12 year are good examples.

Last night people were atwitter over some lady named Rosemary Lehmberg... so I twitted...
I've heard of Rosemary Wood, but who is #RosemaryLehmberg?
After looking her up, I came upon her almost one year old DWI video... puzzled, I left it there.
This morning, I know why the name #Rosemary Lehmberg was trending.
Haz why ever would you attempt to discuss politics with this level/age of people. I don't like to discuss politics with even my sisters, one conservative, one liberal.
I love that Miliband clip. It just shows how incredibly stupid and useless a lot of people elected to office can be. How anybody could see that and ever vote for him again is just beyond me. He could be replaced by one of those drinking birds toys that just keeps going and going.
I have one of those birds sitting in front of me on the window sill right now - a tireless worker. I wonder why we couldn't build them about 100 feet tall and use them to generate power. They just run on water and no emissions. Think how awesome the countryside would be if the hills were covered in drinking birds, and one in every yard. We can dream. Al Gore, please return my calls. Dude, we can make millions.
Deb, I usually don't discuss politics at a family gathering. In the family of the young man getting married, though, it is sport for the college age kids to blather liberal talk at all the conservatives in the family, so it becomes unavoidable.
At the last family gathering a young greenie was getting on my case for not buying into the greenie nonsense. I asked if he used recycled condoms when he was nailing his girlfriend, or was he okay with being just another guy happily filling the local landfill with used condoms. End of convo....
According to Wikipedia, the 6" version can only generate 1/1,000,000 watt, but that seems very low just from watching him work. NASA, get on this.
Most, nearly all, my friends are liberals. Some are very smart people with a good understanding of the facts. We often agree about things, but there is a disconnect at the step of voting. Even if they know the Republican is making more sense and actually has a plan to solve a problem, they just can't pull the lever for them. This is most evident among Jews who can clearly see how unhelpful Dems are to them, and supportive are conservatives and Christians, yet that's who they distrust. It's some kind of deeply ingrained bias that I think leads them to all the rest of it. It's not support of Democrats so much as it is a hatred of the caricature version of Conservatives and the religious they have. They get that from where they get their information and entertainment, starting with American universities, which are unmatched among any organizations in the installation of propaganda, then TV, movies, and of course NPR, which every liberal respects as gospel.
"...so it becomes unavoidable."
Nope.
But when you can deliver come-backs like the condom question, I question how much you actually dislike talking politics :)
Thanks Chip for posting that Ed Millband video. I notice the tactful way the reporter failed to take note of the way Ed kept repeating himself in such a robotic way......It reminded me of the way a reporter interviewed the young man who was with Brown when he got shot. The young man had some kind of tattoo on his neck. He was apparently with Brown when he strong armed the store clerk. None of these things were brought up. The young man told a heart breaking story of his friend piteously begging for his life while the cop emptied his pistol because, don't you know, that's what cops do to innocent blacks. The reporter absorbed his story sympathetically and didn't ask a single probing question.
I'm constantly running into liberals who wish to talk politics in social situations. "Talk Politics" means of course, reciting MSNBC talking points. Usually I go into a spiel about how stupid the talking heads at MNSBC and Fox news are - that shuts them up, for some reason.
As for outspoken atheists, I'm much more rude. I have absolutely zero desire to be harangued on the subject. I told one atheist at a party to "Shut up", and further stated "we didn't come here to listen to your dumb, uninformed opinion on Religion". This was met the usual, "I was just trying to have a discussion, didn't know you were so sensitive, etc" which I waved off. Seriously, what kind of idiot goes to a social gathering and bangs on about a subject that sensitive.
I bang on.
