1. They can always become brain scientists....

...always have a backup plan!

[JaneyVee]

2. He better hope we don't tie Senate salary to intelligence.

[Berlum]

3. I will bet $10,000.00 it was a Republican

What, no takers? You DUers are apparently risk averse.

9. Oh, yes and to top it off a Tenn Republican. I cringed when he

said rocket surgeon. I don't know about other states but I wish there was a rule that Legislators from TN have to take a rigid test to prove they are not neanderthals.

10. Wouldn't touch that bet with a ten-foot pole...

Of COURSE it's a Republican!

4. what a moran!

He has as many kids ad Obama has guns? He actually said that! He needs a good slap upside the head! What an arrogant prick! He could not give even a a coherent answer!

11. And if a kid is abused

at home and doing poorly in school he thinks making the kid hungry will help.

5. I was going to post the same!!

What an a**hole.

I love Martin Bashir, btw. I wish he had a better time slot.

6. I remember the last rocket scientist brain surgeon....

[MissMarple]

7. That is so sad, the poor man.

Martin Bashir has to listen to this stuff. I'm going to turn MSNBC on, it will be like watching a train wreck. I love Tivo.

8. I use that phrase all of the time

I do it as a purposeful play on "brain surgeons" and/or "rocket scientists", but its become second nature.

You know what they say, it's just half of one and six dozen of the other.

[longship]

12. Well, this isn't rocket surgery!

I have used the phrase for decades. But I'll stop now that the Repukes have adopted it.

[enlightenment]

13. Gads. Is that a malapropism

or an eggcorn?

The actual idea is, of course, idiotic.

[Kalidurga]

14. I think he means mechanics that work on rockets.

Or maybe he means robot surgeons it's a common mistake. Rockets, robots they are mechanical things you know.

15. A good RWinger will always refudiate rocket surgeons.

[wandy]

16. Feeling supierior to someone is a down side to human nature....

The GOP just seem to attract the kind of people where it is important.
I have, you don't have, that makes me better.
