Stupid is as stupid does
Republicans
by Ed Naha | April 23, 2009
It was either Forrest Gump or Sarah Palin who once said, "Stupid is as stupid does." For some reason, I get them confused. Oh, yeah. Gump's the one who made sense. Anyhow, for some reason 2009 is shaping up to be a banner year for "Stupid." So, I think it's time we take a moment and congratulate some of those who are trying their best to make mouth-breathing a national pastime.
The "Bluto Blutarsky" Journalism Award is snared by NBC's finest goatee wearer Chuck Todd. He described the current debate over possible investigations of U.S. torture during the Bush years with "Frankly, this feels like a political food fight, now." Water-boarding? Custard pies? Six o' one, half a dozen of the other. Toga! Toga! Toga!
The "Slappy White (Man)" Award goes to comedian Rush Limbaugh who, to show that U.S. torture wasn't all that bad, repeatedly slapped himself in the face whilst on the radio. Hey, Rush? I have a nail gun you could use if you want to continue with the demonstration.
The "Follow The Yellowstain Road" Travel Guide is given to the Bush Administration who used torture as a means to prove their fantasy connection between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. In addition, the White House reportedly used thumbscrews and the rack when it came to creating their own fantasy football league.
The "Now I'm Cookin' With Gas" Mask is given to John "Bronzer" Boehner who dismissed global warming on "This Week" with the wry comment, "The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen, that it's harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, uh, well, you know when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide." Right. But when Republicans imitate cows they call it "speech."
The "Tea-bagging Would Have Been Better" Handi Wipe is collectively shared by right-wingnut pundits and politicos who are SHOCKED by the fact that President Obama, while attending the Summit of the Americas, actually shook the hand of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez instead of poking him in the eye.
