But, it WAS no big deal. Unlike 1) releasing confidential information about a CIA operative 2) finagling the "no, really there ARE WMDs" argument for war and 3) if you question us you're Unamerican.
I'd do it but I'm afraid I'd go a little Lorena Bobbitt.

All over Kenya my husband kept getting, "Please explain to me--every American I meet is so nice, why did you pick Bush as your president? Why don't you impeach him when you impeached Clinton for so much less? Why wasn't there rioting when his brother rigged the election?"

Ahhh, Kenya - land of reasonable people who pick reasonable leaders in a truly democratic process. Yup, we should take lessons from that country!Originally posted by Julie
I'm sure the level of actually true information received by the general populace in that nation is not terribly high (especially if they watch CNN and the BBC).

Kenya's way more screwed up than we are, definitely. I thought the questions he was getting were interesting on a lot of levels, including the level of "Wow, these people have a really high tolerance for corruption, and even they see Bush as too corrupt."

I looked it up Wikipedia:
Moonbat is a political epithet coined in 2002 by Perry de Havilland of Samizdata, a libertarian weblog. Contrary to some speculation, de Havilland has stated it was not originally a play on the last name of George Monbiot, a columnist for The Guardian, regardless of the fact he and Mr. Monbiot have appeared on the BBC together expressing politically opposed views. The term was originally rendered as 'Barking Moonbat', suggesting that certain issues seem to trigger a reflexive response from some people much like wolves howl at the moon (i.e. the term evokes the traditional association between the moon and insanity). It now enjoys great currency in the conservative and libertarian blogosphere as an all-purpose label for modern liberals (in the American sense of the word), war protestors, and other ideological opponents. It is similar to the epithet Idiotarian and like that term can also be applied to people anywhere on the political spectrum (for example both terms have also been used to describe US conservative Pat Buchanan).
According to de Havilland, a moonbat is "someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be". Adriana Cronin defines the term as "someone who sacrifices sanity for the sake of consistency". This term has long been used to describe protesters on the political Left, but was originally coined to also describe commentators on the political Right as well as certain libertarians.
Moonbat has frequently been used to describe those of any political persuasion who believe in conspiracy theories. Examples include those who believe that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were engineered by George W. Bush, or that the US invaded Iraq to drive up oil prices, or did so under the direction of Israel.
Lately the term has come into wider use appearing in political cartoons, political forums, and blogs, oftentimes as "moonbat crazy".
Not sure the term applies here...moonbats in Kenya? (also, nothing more mature...)Gwen
