George Will Calls Donald Trump a 'Bloviating Ignoramus'

This morning on "This Week," ABC News' George Will called Donald Trump a "bloviating ignoramus," questioning why presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is associating with the real estate mogul, who once again falsely questioned President Obama's birthplace this week.

"I do not understand the cost benefit here," Will said on the "This Week" roundtable. "The costs are clear. The benefit - what voter is gonna vote for him (Romney) because he is seen with Donald Trump? The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious it seems to me."

"Donald Trump is redundant evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low and you can still intrude into American politics," Will added

Expect an arsenal of Trump's favorite vocabulary:

loser, washed-up, fail-at-everything, miserable, common, below-average, over-rated, hack . . . with repetition.

---Got it!--- This is George Will's response to Trump when he called Will a "totally overrated fool" back in March.

UPDATE: I was right.

"George Will may be the dumbest (and most overrated) political commentator of all time. If the Republicans listen to him, they will lose."

Aw, Donald, is THAT the best you can do, you bloviated ignoramus?
