Who is smarter?? Bush or Qualye???

[opihimoimoi]

I pick Bush as the dumber of the two.

[LearnedHand]

1. Um, isn't that a bit like asking...

..."Have you stopped beating your wife yet"? :evilgrin:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

2. You sure don't ponder the easy questions in life!

So close mentally-midget-wise.....Tough one.

[mikeysnot]

3. A Bug?

Oh wait, I thought you asked what is smarter....

[Liberator_Rev]

4. Didn't Judge Robert Bork pick Qualye before the election?

That's what I remember.
that's the election of Al Gore, of course.
<- this is Frederick Douglass, not me.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

20. Lol.

I'm glad you cleared up the avatar thingy. Otherwise, I thought to myself "My Lord, if that's Frederick Douglas he's old enough to have to worry about breaking a hip."


FD was a Great man.

[CatWoman]

5. I think Bush* is the more evil of the two

the jury is still out as to who is the smartest.

[Doug Decker]

6. Dumb and Dumber...

how could you tell? The scale doesn't go below moron.

[CatWoman]

9. ok -- which is which?

[Doug Decker]

16. Still no answer in LBN, wonder what's up? n/t

[w4rma]

7. Bush seems like he's autistic. Politics and bribery, but nothing else.

Qualye is, in general, the smarter of the two, IMHO.

[Doug Decker]

15. You're right, he really shines when talking about murder...

and mayham.

BTW, this is the funniest thread I've ever read.

[w4rma]

21. That too. Smirk definitely has a penchant for murder and mayham.

You’re Invited to the War Party (“Bush at War” book review)
…
Another time, he says to Woodward, “I’m the commander—see, I don’t need to explain—I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don’t feel like I owe anybody an explanation.”

At still another point after the Afghan war has started, the president says to his staff, “Look, our strategy is to create chaos, to create a vacuum.” And Woodward ends the book with another quote from the president, in which he again reflects the obsessive chaos theory of the neoconservatives surrounding him like sentinels and for whom Iraq has become the sina quo non of political existence: “We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.” Whew.

8. Neither Quayle nor Bush is Nobel laureate material.

Which is "smarter" is hard to determine. Which had to be smarter is Bush, and he certainly failed in that test.

[JI7]

10. didn't pappy pick quayle because reminded him of son

didn't the first bush pick quayle as his vice president because he reminded him of his son ?

[JitterbugPerfume]

11. neither one of them

has two neurons to bump together

[opihimoimoi]

24. I screwed this all up

should have titled thread:

Bush is the only Pub dumber than Qualye??? Yes or No

[illini]

12. Doesnt your question assume that one of them is smart????

Kind of an oxymoron???

[Gman]

13. That's like saying which is smarter

a box or rocks or a sack of hammers.

[oasis]

14. Bush is a diablolical, menacing SOB. Quayle is a plain SOB.

[Starpass]

17. Okaaaaay.....let's compare:

One sat in front of a bunch of kids and couldn't spell "potato". A potato sat in front of a bunch of kids and couldn't comprehend that our nation had been attacked. All I know is that both were dumb in ever sitting in front of an elementary classroom because children make them look so....ah, stupid.

[tjdee]

18. Quayle is happy dumb, Bush is confused dumb....

Quayle seems to me like a happy affable dumb fellow.

Bush is a frustrated, confused dummy, much harder to watch.

Smarter...Hmm...that really is a stumper.

19. Potatoe Head vs. Turd Brain

Mr. Potatoe-head is universally acknowledged for the startling breadth and depth of his stupidity:

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." — In a speech to the NAACP, referring to the motto of the United Negro College Fund: "A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste."

The Little Turd from Crawfurd, however, is giftted in his cruelty, in addition to his extraordinary stupidity and criminal insanity:

PRESIDENT BUSH: And the poverty problem -- listen, this nation is committed to dealing with poverty. First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to be not rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill. And so it's important to understand -- people are susceptible to the requirement by these extremists, but I refuse to put a -- put killers into a demographic category based upon income. After all, a lot of the top al Qaeda people were comfortable middle-class citizens. And so one of the things you've got to do is to make sure we distinguish between hate and poverty.

So, opihimoimoi, I must give the nods to Bushler. As the lack of any oratorical skills whatsoever, he has zero compassion for the people his father derides as "One Fodder Unit."

[opihimoimoi]

22. Bush is an Obsessive with a Complusive Disorder to lie cheat and steal

More important, there is a lack of neurons driving his brain, about 3 quarts low in car mechanics terms.

But at least Dan could put 4 syllable words into a sentence and not screw it up. Bush seems to have a dose of cognitive dissonance, unable to comprehend the foot notes prepared for him.

[Octafish]

28. Wow! His resonant frequency is thrice-removed from reality!

Thanks, Opi! I just "got" it!

The unelected turd can't read his cue cards because his low-oil think pan barely turns over, he believe he was raised to get what's "expected," and his core wiring is rusting due to the nature of frustrated dopamine receptors.

It's like ripples in a pond of negativity. An incredible — no, interesting — universe to visit in the imagination. It would be terrible to inhabit it. Glad Bush is Bush. He deserves it.

[LittleApple81]

23. Love the creative people at DU! If the repugs were not so dangerous

to humanity, I could have laughed harder. Thanks for all the contributions to this thread. You made my evening. After listening to Bill Clinton at the Steak Fry, these repugs are really repugnant and frightening.

[opihimoimoi]

25. Yup,

"The Pubs are repugnant and frightening"

No truer words man.

Come, we go bar, order a double.

[5thGenDemocrat]

26. Boy, that's a good question

I interviewed Quayle (briefly) in 1990. I have to believe he's smarter than this current dickhead.
John
Also, whatever flaws Quayle has, he's not inherently evil like * is.

[Ronnie]

27. Easier to answer this...

Question: Who is dumber?
Answer: Too close to call.

[jaded_old_cynic]

29. That's like asking...

Which would you rather have? Herpes or syphillis?
BTW, my answer is bush. Which coincidentally, is where you find herpes and syphillis. Hmmmm. There may be a certain symmetry to that after all.

[opihimoimoi]

30. LOL, I luv it:: Bush is where you find Herpes and syph

What a pun

[Ani Yun Wiya]

31. My two cents worth.

* is dumber than Qualye.
* is a bigger cheat and thief than Nixon.
* is more of a stumblebum than Ford.
* is less capable of being "acting president" than Reagan.
* is more secretive than his old man, and has even less to say.

[opihimoimoi]

38. Luv your list. but you forgot SWAGGER

The man can out swagger anyone on the planet

[Piperay]

32. Shake em up in a bag

and they will both most likely fall out together. While I won't say one is smarter than the other I believe that chimpie is definiety the dumber of the two. :freak:

[pippin]

34. Homo neanderthalensis

Both mutant throwbacks, low on the evolutionary scale. Probably a subspecies of humans: Homo neanderthalensis

[opihimoimoi]

36. Whats a Neanderthal to do these days??? Damn, with all those Pubs trying

to copycat. Damn.

[screembloodymurder]

33. Never thought about it

but was Sr. trying to prepare us. You don't suppose he had a hand in that movie "Dumb and Dumber" do you.

[NicRic]

35. Frist thing I thought, Dumb and Dumber !

.

[opihimoimoi]

37. Yup, D&D for sure, OMG, if Cheney were to pass away,.... OMG

The mere possibility scares me.

[Generic Other]

39. Would you rather

vote for one of these dummies or drink a glass of phlegm?

Bring it on (the phlegm, that is).

[opihimoimoi]

40. Nope, no way. it should be the PUBs asking the question: Vote for a DEM

or drink shit/smegma

LOL,

Come, we go swap meet, find coconuts
