Dumb, dumber, dumbest. Reagan, Quayle, Dubya.

[Cyrano]

At least Reagan was an amiable imbecile and Quayle wasn't quite as offensive as most repugs. Bush, on the other hand, could probably get even the Delhi Lama to want to spit on him.

So which of them would you cast as dumb, dumber and dumbest?

My opinion, after watching Bush sitting in that classroom is that, not only is he dumbest, but, (as Dan Quayle said) "A mind is a terrible thing not to have."

1. How in the world did

such idiotic people get elected in a country which is supposed to have one of the highest percentage of educated people?

[Cyrano]

2. Ummm, Dubya wasn't elected.

And Quayle was only the VP, so that doesn't count.

The real enigma is Reagan who is proof positive that style always trumps substence.

3. Bush is not a cowboy!

He's afraid of horses. Reagan was a Hollywood cowboy, he could ride. I found the following and sent it to All Hat No Cattle and they posted it. I think it pretty much sums up Bush's failings.

Gene Autry's Cowboy Code



1. The Cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage.

2. He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him.

3. He must always tell the truth.

4. He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals.

5. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.

6. He must help people in distress.

7. He must be a good worker.

8. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits.

9. He must respect women, parents, and his nations laws.

10. The Cowboy is a patriot.

4. The actual quote

"WHAT A WASTE IT IS TO LOSE ONE'S MIND. OR NOT TO HAVE A MIND IS BEING
VERY WASTEFUL. HOW TRUE THAT IS."
- Former U.S. Vice-President Dan Quayle at a fundraising event for
the
United Negro College Fund. He was attempting to quote the line "a
mind
is a terrible thing to waste".

5. Thanks for the full quote. However, even Mr. potatoe couldn't

mangle the English language as badly as Dubya does.

But as far as dumbest goes, I think the almost 50% of the American public who are still planning to vote for Shrub, win that title hands down.

6. While one thinks of the woeful ignorance of Americans about

the world, these three at the very top of our political structure typify our ignorance about our own country and its people.The wonder is how these ignoramuses found their way to the top.
