1. So someone thinks a teabagger is smarter than the idiot from a village of idiots...

...I suppose that's probably true literally. Especially since there is no village of just idiots. In defense of idiots, however, they typically do not go out and campaign in favor of their own oppression.

16. That was me. I did it.
I wish George Bush was on the list, though. Then it might be a challenge. Frankly, I don't believe the "tea party" folks are stupid, necessarily. I think they're misinformed, perhaps willfully ignorant, maybe even dangerously so, but not necessarily stupid.

2. Hammers may be specialised tools
With a lot of engineering involved







For the other 3 - not so much.

3. Well, one needs to be smart to make a hammer, but not to be one.

6. Yes grasshopper
But intelligence in design, construction, or use is still intelligence. You can hammer a wrinlked fender, or a cooling weld, all day with a teabagger, and still get nothing accomplished.

5. I love the phrase "dumber than a box of rocks"
Though I never heard of it before I met my stepfather 15 years ago..

9. I'd say 'a sack of wet mice' but that isn't an option.

10. Thought of that but...
...I believe that expression is as SHARP as a bag of wet mice.
