42. The other day Thom Hartman interviewed Chuck Woolery, former gameshow host turned crackpot

Who knew he was even alive. But turns out he is alive and really, really dumb. Just imagine how stupid you think the former host of Love Connection probably is and multiply that by about 50 times. He's giving Stephen Balwin a run for his money on stupidity. He's for privatizing medicare because "we know that anything the government is involved with is inefficient". Hartman told him that actually the V.A. was the most efficient healthcare system in terms of cost and overhead and that Medicare overhead was about 3% as opposed to 30-40% for private insurance companies. Boom. No response. Interview over.
