Hall: Vice Presidents Are Forgettable
If I may differ with some of my fellow hysterics in the press,
I’m not as amazed as they are at the political ignorance of a minority
of Americans. I have had no illusions on that score since I was in
high
school and read that fully 15 percent of Americans couldn’t name the
vice president of the United States. (It was some guy named Nixon). So why all the gasping and melodramatic hissy fits among the
talking heads on television and the typing heads in newspapers that a
few more than 15 percent of the American people irrationally think
President Obama is a Muslim. That’s a normal level of lunacy during any
administration. Such hostile fantasies are the norm among a minority of
the people of this and other lands. For that matter, those in the mushy-minded minority are not
always wrong to tenaciously maintain their ignorance of American vice
presidents. I have seen many of those same vice presidents and several
of them were utterly forgettable/
