Clinton: Bachmann "pretty stupid"

When Bill Clinton came to town this week to raise bucks for Mark Dayton's gubernatorial bid, he also held a late-night fundraiser for state Sen. Tarryl Clark, who's trying to unseat the Sixth District congresswoman.

According to Salon's Joe Conason:

"Your opponent," he told Clark, "is the ultimate example of putting ideology over evidence."

"I respect people with a conservative philosophy," he continued. "This country has been well-served by having two broad traditions within which people can operate. If you have a philosophy, it means you’re generally inclined one way or the other but you’re open to evidence. If you have an ideology, it means everything is determined by dogma and you’re impervious to evidence. Evidence is irrelevant.

If you have a philosophy, it means you’re generally inclined one way or the other but you’re open to evidence. If you have an ideology, it means everything is determined by dogma and you’re impervious to evidence. Evidence is irrelevant.

This coming from a guy whose primary motiviation is to feed his appetites.

[Siegfried X]

So we should recruit geniuses like Maxine Waters?

I've got 2 quarts of Schlitz Malt Liquor saved up for the day they plant this idiot former President in the Earth. I'm going to filter it really good and then return to the ground from which it came.

I suppose getting a BJ from a cheap tart in the Oral Office isn’t stupid.

Bill, you are a joke.

[bmwcyle]

This from a two bit 60 some year old punk.

[ObamaMustGo2012]

This guy thinks he’s more relevant than he is, or ever has been. (Did I say “Has Been?”)

He must realize that despite being so “popular,” he was in two national elections and NEVER got over 50 percent of the people to vote for him, right?

Stay classy, Slick Willie.

Ex Dem Presidents just can’t keep their noses out of current politics.we will take one Michelle Bachman over a million Clintonistas.

[Ann Archy]

Being a DEMOCRAT is DUMB!

Take a number,pal. ;)

Ideology is built as a reaction to the repetition of stupid ideas.

It’s simply a short cut to the truth. Without it, you just keep having the same arguments over and over.

"I respect people with a conservative philosophy"

He is a liar!

[houeto]

If you have a philosophy, it means you’re generally inclined one way or the other but you’re open to evidence.

For some reason, when I read this, I thought of your tagline.

[Triple]

You two can fight over number 1. I will take number 2. First, I’ll have a nice steak, medium rare...
