Is this a new thing?
Oh, come on! We elect dumb politicians all the time...Patty Murray (sp), Ron Widen for a start.
The gal from Texas that thought we had landed an astanaut on Mars, Eleanor Holmes Norton...I could go on and on.
I’ll see your Patty Murray,and raise you a Cynthia McKinney.
And if not dumb, they’re corrupt, grossly incompetent, or mentally unbalanced.
two words: joe biden
“If these men were around today, making similar statements, Americans would hold them in contempt and disqualify them from office.”
Probably, but by failing to take action to reduce spending, the politicians have gone from dumb to idiotic. Sooner or later the dollar will collapse. Yeah, it’s a catch 22. But so what? The politicians were elected to deal with it.
“That’s a sad commentary on how we’ve trashed our Constitution.”
Who is this “we?” I had nothing to do with it. My family had nothing to do with it. I daresay the overwhelming majority of FReepers had nothing to do with it. So how is this “our” responsibility?
Answer: it isn’t. We didn’t trash the Constitution. So don’t expect me to line up as some sort of indentured servant to do the clean up.
Amen to that...there’s a Moore from here in Wisconsin...dumb as a box of rocks but black and down with the struggle which is all her constituents care about. They cannot be embarrasses by their demonstrable ignorance.
Politicians are smarter than you are.
You didn’t even know that Guam might capsize.
...embarrassed...
It’s the dumb and ignorant voters that elect and reelect them.
How ‘bout the politician that was worrying about an island turning over and sinking from the weight of a new airport?
Sheila Jackson Lee is as dumb as a bag of hammers yet is reelected time and again.
I would like to argue that point!
Maxine Waters, Alan Greyson, just for starters. Oh, and how about Hussein! Elected twice (although I still say fraudulently).
Yo What iz da constitution ya'll is mad stupid.
Dumb article.
What the heck happened to Walter Williams? He used to be very smart.. and wise.
The rest of the article is fine, but the title and first paragraph are like Al Gore or Karl Rove wrote them.
Our smartest President, James Garfield, was shot by a lunatic, Charles Guiteau but killed by his Doctor, Doctor Doctor Bliss (Yes, his first name was Doctor) due to his refusal to listen to the new medical discovery of the day by Lister (Listereen) who showed that germs can infect a wound...which is what caused Garfield’s death due to Bliss’s continual search for the bullet with a dirty probe. The bullet wound, if left “untreated” would not have been fatal.
