Colorado Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat running in a tight re-election race, asked for a do-over during a TV interview on Friday night when he couldn't come up with the names of the three most influential books he'd ever read. 'Oh wow,' he said. 'That's the toughest – the, uh, three most influential books in my life–' Gathering his composure during a live news broadcast on 7News in Denver, he came up with one. 'Profiles in Courage. The, um, uh –.' After a three-second pregnant pause, the stumped senator asked for another chance. 'Let me think. We can play this over, right? I mean, re-tape this?'

"Mien Kampf" and "Das Kapital" were right on the tip of his tongue, being that those were the honest answers, but he's just a bit above stupid to remember that you can't admit that to the voters, so of course he was stumped.

What did Asimov's robots experience? Roblock? Think of a positronic brain, but operating at the speed of stupid.

I wonder if this has anything to do with “recreational use of Marijuana”? Isn’t that the new in thing in Colorado? That may make him stupid but cool.

Mind Flayer
Do you remember the squid-headed dude from Return of the Jedi? Imagine that guy with a penchant for eating your brain, and you have a Mind Flayer, a.k.a. an Illithid. These mini-Cthulus are powerful psychics, who can paralyze men or drive them insane with their psionic blasts; their four face tentacles are used to reach into people’s heads to access the brains and eat them. Mind Flayers are prevalent throughout the galaxy and most planes of reality, and consider themselves the supreme race in the universe, although they hate the undead, mostly because they have no brains to control (or eat).

Wash/Post reports Sen Mark Udall's problem is that he has been dubbed "Mark Uterus."

Senator Uterus (D-Colo) endorses free-for-all, no limits, abortion and has perfected the Democrat party line: "For the government to step in at any stage of the pregnancy to militarize a woman's vagina is the equivalent of enslaving a woman to the inconvenient fetus just because she had sex w/ some selfish male in heat. I urge women to place her own interests ahead of the parasite feeding off her body."

Sen Udall's dedicated Vagina Unit includes:
Buddy Balzer. Nikita Genitalia, and Sheldon Sheather
(on-loan; VP of PlannedParenthood's Protection-R-Us).

"Just call Sheldon, Buddy, or Nikita, if anyone messes w/ your uterus."

Aha, you got two out of my three. I’d include Bastiat’s “The Law” over Lewis. But Lewis would make the top ten for sure, as would Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, and Tocqueville.

'I'm brain dead today':

How is that different from any other day?

[plain talk]

Easy. all he had to say was the Bible. when asked for the other two - just say there are too many and not able to narrow it down to just two.

“Timmy Stays Up Late” changed my life completely.

‘I’m brain dead today’

So, what makes that day special?

[Sasparilla]

Udall will get the same redo about reading material that Katie Couric gave Sarah Palin.

[Captain7seas]

These should help him out:

Environmental Overkill, Dixie Lee Ray
Set Up and Sold Out,Find Out What Green Really Means. Swanson
Storm Over Range Lands,Private Rights in Federal Lands, Hage
Cold Sun, John Casey
5000 Year Leap, Principles of Freedom 101
Free Markets, Free Men. Frederic Bastiat
The Law. Fredric Bastiat

I’m brain dead today’

Well,assuming that he voted for ObolaCare that would make at least *two* days in his life that he's been brain dead.

[drbuzzard]

I suspect it was because he’s never read as many as three books.

[RetiredTexasVet]

One too many “doobies” before the show, but probably near brain dead anyway.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

That may make him stupid but cool.

"Too cool for school."

[TigersEye]

Udall is a Progressive. He is brain dead every day.

[AnAmericanMother]

I'm trying to do this off the top of my head -

Definitely the Bible. Second I'd say The Iliad. Third one has a lot of possibilities - but I would have to go with Shakespeare's plays.

Those are basic building blocks of civilization, no question.

[AnAmericanMother]

Rand is overrated ( ducking )

Bastiat is excellent but very specialized.

Friedman and de Tocqueville, yes and yes.

I thought about Lewis - but before I'd put Mere Christianity I would plump for his volume of the Oxford History of English Literature. That demonstrates his complete and total grasp of not only the literature of the 16th century, but all the historical and religious underpinnings that supported it. Either that, or The Discarded Image . . .

[Irish Eyes]

Of course, unlike with Rick Perry, you’ll never hear about this.

Yup...that is the way it works these days.
