Can you name one or two people dumber than George W. Bush?

[Cyrano]

Randi Rhodes insists that anyone and everyone is smarter than Bush. I tend to agree and it's really hard to think of anyone more stupid than him.

Any suggestions? (And no, your brother-in-law-doesn't count. Try to stick with people in the public eye.)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. the people that voted for him

[Cyrano]

7. Great. LOL

[movonne]

17. I love it...you found just the right answer!!!!

[indepat]

24. And the people who support, even shill for, him, those that march

in lockstep to the beat of his very damaging, if not disastrous, policies and pre-emptive war(s).

[Selwynn]

29. Common... I prefer the term "naive" since my parents voted for them.....

...no ok, it was just stupid, hehe. :D

[Ladyhawk]

32. What about those of us who did, but weren't happy with it at the time?

And who subsequently decided he is a tightly-coiled pile of dog shit on the front lawn?

[Generator]

65. Yeah for you!

Whatever your reasons were, at least you aren't now deluded, in denial and lying to yourself. (which is what I think you must be to vote for him again) Or just plain dumb.

You are allowed to evolve and change your mind. Some call it flip-flopping, I call it having a brain and a conscience.

[D-Notice]

2. Poodle

For going along with him without questioning him...

[prodigal_green]

19. I agree, because he is supposed to be smarter than that

what the feck was THAT all about?

[AntiCoup2K4]

27. Well, I've heard that over in jolly ol' England, BP is often known as....

...."Blair Petroleum". Considering Iraq was more or less created by the British for oil exporting purposes, it's hardly surprising.

[D-Notice]

60. Not heard that name...

but it does seem to fit

[never_get_over_it]

40. I've always been convinced

that Bush had something on the Poodle - otherwise it makes no sense

[D-Notice]

59. I agree

Seen this or this?

Not sure how reliable they are, but who knows?

[buycitgo]

3. tom ridge?

[AlinPA]

4. Anna Nicole Smith? I'm being real fair here.

[number6]

5. people that think were safer now

:( :nuke:

[TNOE]

6. Forest Gump maybe

but of course he was fictional - and in reality - he wasn't an intellectual - but he wasn't dumb either, as his story was one of eventual success.

People such as Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, M. Matlin, R. Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly aren't dumb, just ill-informed and they may not even be that ill-informed, just decided they like the $$$$.

I honestly can't think of anyone else at the moment, but something to ponder. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

[merh]

52. Did you know that the guy who wrote forrest gump knew

"the weed that would be king" in 1972 when he was in Montogomery AL (supposedly serving in the guard, but actually working on a campaign for senatorial candidate Blount)? Coincidence??? I DON'T THINKS SO!

========================
The Birmingham News
(snip)
"Winston Groom, the "Forrest Gump" author, remembers a pleasant dinner with Bush in the summer of 1972. Lobbyist Fred Crawford recalls talking baseball, lots of baseball, with Bush. Birmingham native Murphy Archibald, now a lawyer in Charlotte, recounts how Bush often bragged about his drinking."

[maxsolomon]

8. throw 2 darts out the window

odds are they'll hit someone dumber than GWB.

HE IS NOT DUMB!

its an ACT, people! he's venal, ignorant, and unfit, but underestimate his low cunning at your peril.

[NuttyFluffers]

16. even predatory insects have cunning...

intellect is reserved for something else in my view.

[Blue Gardener]

9. Britney Spears?

At least at his level.

[Malva Zebrina]

10. Laura and the strapless, exhibitionist sisters with the bouncing boobies

actually the whole family seems to be missing a slice off the loaf of intelligence.

[proud patriot]

11. Yes , anyone planning on voting for him in 2004 n/t

[leftchick]

12. from CNN: Bill Hemmer and...

Carol Costello?

[Bluebear]

15. Now there is a vacuous duo!

[Khephra]

13. Ashcroft

He lost to a dead guy. Bush was smart enough to cheat his way in.

:evilgrin:

[hippiegranny]

14. jessica simpson?

and in politics - zell miller. wait wait, both of them can speak in full sentences. maybe randi is correct.

[terrya]

18. The one woman on "Big Brother 5". I forget her name.

I just remember one of the other housemates saying "I like her, but we won't be asking her to do long division anytime soon". :-)

[Burma Jones]

20. Patrick the Starfish

No Really, let's see.....

Paris Hilton perhaps
Boomer Esiason
Laura Bush
Jim Trafficant

[Swamp Rat]

21. His offspring

"Dumber than a bag of hammers."

edit::evilgrin:

[NightTrain]

22. On my last job, I delivered medical supplies to group homes...

...and can say in all honesty that many of the developmentally disabled people I encountered at those places had more on the ball than Georgie does!

[swag]

23. Maury Povich

I remember when I lived in DC and he was on Metromedia 5 or something. He was a newscaster who also had a noon feel-good piffle show (in fairness to the Povich family, I hear Maury's father Shirley Povich was a great sportswriter).

Anyway, one day Maury had this heart transplant specialist on, and they talked about heart transplants for a while. Then, Maury asked with intense sincerity, "With all the success in heart transplants, how long will it be before we can get brain transplants?"

I nominate Maury Povich, aka Mr. Connie Chung.

[MsUnderstood]

25. Dan Quayle

well there is one--or does he count as 1/2?

[Selwynn]

33. Qualye is actually quite intelligent.

He his a horrible public speaker, he can't think on his feet but he's not stupid.

[Cat Atomic]

42. What has Quayle done that makes you think he's intelligent?

I'm curious. He's admitted himself that he didn't actually study in college.

[Selwynn]

58. Well, I should revise and extend my remarks...

..perhaps I shouldn't say "quite intelligent" as though he is a genius. This is what I do think. I think what the media did to him was pretty pathetic. I think that he was not likely to be an absolute moron, but rather more likely to be someone not good thinking on his feet, which I can identify with.

If you had to hear me talk off the cuff sometimes, you'd think I was dumber than a box of.. really dumb stuff.

But I'm not. :)

So I think I was more think that he was really unfairly brutalized in the media for a few sound bite stupid things, and I remember reading some writings of his and a listening to a few less formal interviews and thinking that "moron" didn't seem to be the word to describe him.

[Jandar]

26. Easy, my congressman

Chris Cannon, dumbest politico I've ever witnessed. But he's the perfect Utah representative, doesn't have to think or even be aware, just a body willing to vote the republican party line.

[newyawker99]

45. Hi Jandar!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[0007]

28. Jeff Sessions & Wolf Blitzer

Edited to add that a tie exist between Jeff Sessins and Bill O'Reilly

[terrya]

35. Jeff Sessions isn't exactly Mensa material, is he?

I've seen him on C-Span, and we're not talking genius here....

[Bombtrack]

30. The Hilton sisters

[tom_paine]

31. Gary the Retard and Beetlejuice from Howard Stern

[Media_Lies_Daily]

34. Junior Sample: "Just call BR549".

[pbg]

36. The Log Cabin Republicans

...with andrew sullivan thrown in for good measure.

[SoCalDem]

37. um.....no

:)

[AntiCoup2K4]

38. Congressman George "Duncecap" Nethercutt

Lucky enough to get swept into Congress on Newt's "Contract ON America" scampaign, stupid enough to believe that made himSpeaker of the House - because he took Tom Foley's district. :dunce:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

39. I would say Pickles, but that's probably due to massive amounts of Xanax

[lagniappe]

41. http://www.freerepublic.com (all 7 of them)

[greekspeak]

43. They aren't two people

But I bet if I went in and searched through my cat's litterbox I might be able to find a couple of turds that are dumber....might take a bit, tho.

[Emboldened Chimp]

44. Colin Quinn

Heard his interview with Terry Gross from yesterday and one word came to mind: idiot.

[klook]

61. Yeah, Quinn sounded like a real dolt

and not funny at all. I thought Terry Gross was walking on eggshells trying to be fair to him and not look like a "media liberal" by challenging him. (Of course, Colin was challenged enough on his own without any help from the interviewer. What a bore!) Bill Maher was on before him and was much more articulate, interesting, and funny.

Quotes from http://www.jumptheshark.com/t/toughcrowd.htm -

"Colin Quinn is possibly the worst talk show host on the planet, every time he does a joke he stumbles and stutters his way through it. It is almost painful to watch sometimes. The guest 'comedians' are completely unfunny. Whoever greenlit this garbage must have a grudge with comedy central because this is a complete train wreck of a show."

"...Say what you will about Maher, but at least he educates himself and is prepared on the issues. Quinn's ripoff is PI for retards and that wouldn't be a bad thing if it were only funny."

"why does colin quinn still have a contract with anybody? He wasn't funny on remote control, he wasn't funny on SNL, so who figured that his co-workers were slowing him down. I've got to agree with a previous critic, it seems like they pulled a teamster out of props and forced him to tell the jokes they fished out of the trash can."

[Lautremont]

46. I just looked at a picture of Pvt. Lyndeeeee England

and she looks pretty dull around the old brain-pan. I'm sure I'd thing the same about Staff Sgt. Charles Grunier, or whatever his name is.

[timtom]

47. Mortimer Snerd and Goofy!

[allalone]

48. his wife

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

49. I once owned a bent screwdriver....nah, not dumb enough.

And, even it was more useful. It never said anything, but I'll bet it's English would be better than the Goober-in-Chief's.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

50. I know! I know! Trent Lott!! No..I was thinking of his wig.

Honorable mention to Carol Lin..Shirly Temple (aged 5) wannabee.

53. "Dyno-Mite" Jimmie 'JJ' Walker

Trust me he's an idiot.

[theHandpuppet]

54. Alice Tinker

Anyone who is familiar with "The Vicar of Dibley" will appreciate the reference. ;)

[Cleita]

55. Lyndie England?

After all she said she was following orders and who is the commander-in-chief? I was watching Canadian Telly today and they aren't shy about saying the blame goes very high up the heirarchy even though the administration is trying to make it look like a few bad apples.

[opihimoimoi]

56. I was gonna say Elmer Fudd but....on second thought......

The Beagle Boys???

[maveric]

57. These two guys.

[genius]

62. Anyone who votes for him.

Also a couple of people in my parents church are doing their best to try to get others to support the dictator. They aren't having a lot of luck.

[samsingh]

63. all the people who are still supporting them.

64. Clarence Thomas eom

[MrSlayer]

66. Mike Tyson

Dumber than a bag of hammers.
