Vacuous: The Perfect Word For Describing Republicans!

Definitions from the Merriam-Webster online Dictionary:

vac·u·ous adjective \ˈva-kyə-wəs\

: having or showing a lack of intelligence or serious thought : lacking meaning, importance, or substance

1: emptied of or lacking content

2: marked by lack of ideas or intelligence : stupid, inane <a vacuous mind> <a vacuous movie>

3: devoid of serious occupation : idle


I think it's remarkable that a 7 letter, 3 syllable word can so eloquently describe these pathetic morons.
