"he suddenly becomes seemingly incapable of grasping something obvious."

I'm sorry, but this is too funny. You realize you are describing half the republicans here? You realize that subjectively, I feel the same way about you?

"Kind of like when you try to get a dog to look at something by pointing to it, and the dog looks at your finger."

And the right wingers here go one up on the civil animal. Here they assult and insult your finger. Bowsers one uip there as well.

"If Bowser really was an airhead"

Trust me, the obstinance and fact resiliency and hypocrisy you display is just as endearing.

This swings both ways tom. The rhetoric here is hyperbolic and the purveyors of this rhetoric always piss off the other side. You indulge in this reality disfunction every bit as much as bowser. You would rather die than concede or relent, and it shows every bit as much as our mascot here.
