HuffPo has compiled the dumbest quotes of the last decade. Here’s a sampling…
Sarah Palin announcing her resignation as governor.
“It may be tempting and more comfortable to just keep your head down, plod along, and appease those who demand: ‘Sit down and shut up,’ but that’s the worthless, easy path; that’s a quitter’s way out.”
George Bush
“They misunderestimated me”
Sarah Palin when asked by Katie Couric what she reads.
“All of ‘em, any of ‘em that have been in front of me over all these years.”
Craig T. Nelson – Dumb conservative and actor on fiscal responsibility.
“I’ve been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No.”
I love this next one. Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 when asked “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?”
“I personally believe, that US Americans are unable to do so, because some people out there, in our nation, don’t have that, and eh I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here, in the US, should help the US, or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future… for our children.”
You know that she would of answered “What color is the sky?” in exactly the same way. She was told by her handlers, I’m sure, to fit in the words ‘South Africa’, ‘Iraq’, ‘US’, ‘children’, ‘future’ and ‘education’ into a single response. And, she did!
Arnold Schwarzenegger
“I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.”
Michele Bachmann
“This is an earthquake issue. This will change our state forever. Because the immediate consequence, if gay marriage goes through, is that K-12 little children will be forced to learn that homosexuality is normal, natural and perhaps they should try it.”
Every Republican in the House and nearly every Republican Senator voted against the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (also known as the stimulus). Although the Congressional Budget Office has credited the stimulus with creating up to 1.6 million jobs, the same GOP politicians who opposed the stimulus have attempted to justify their opposition to the policy by smearing it as a failure. But as ThinkProgress has documented, the same politicians are returning to their districts to take credit for the economic success of the stimulus.
And here’s the thing; they’re going to get away with it. The reason Repubs have been so bold in moving ahead with their lie and smear campaign is because they’ve met with success. They have been allowed to muddy up every issue from the economy to health care to the point where every blatant lie has caught hold with their base.
The right-wing noise machine is, if nothing else, an impressive and fine-tuned mechanism with conservative politicians, pundits and media working in perfect unison to get their message across. Lies and half-truths, it matters not. The base is watching Fox and listening to Limbaugh where truth is nothing more than a four letter word.
Eight years of “still-evolving” American history is meticulously catalogued, wrapped, stored and guarded in the climate-controlled warehouse.
Included here are 68 million pages of documents, a surfboard, 175 million e-mails, countless cowboy hats, 3,845,912 photographs, Stan “The Man” Musial’s autograph, gold and silver swords, handmade quilts, diamond jewelry, cowboy boots, classified files, a gift from the pope and the 9mm Glock pistol that Saddam Hussein was armed with when he was rooted out of his spider hole in Iraq.
Welcome to the Bush White House, now in storage in Lewisville, where there is even wood flooring from the Oval Office and chairs from the press room.
I’d keep the Musial autograph and dump the rest along with any memories of President Dumbo.
