7. by dumb I mean

"pisses me off."

2. You can't buy votes with a sack of doorknobs.

[rwheeler31]

4. Take their money smart, go with the flow smart.

[lurky]

5. Brass doorknobs or stainless steel?

[tooeyeten]

6. he's working for insurance companies

[LiberalFighter]

8. At least doorknobs know they are suppose to be on doors and help open doors.

[Chipper Chat]

9. Hey. I have a large sack of doorknobs in my garage.

They are mute but not dumb.

[geek tragedy]

10. Not dumb, rather he's evil.

[backscatter712]

11. No, he's not dumb. Horribly corrupt and greedy, but not dumb. n/t

[donheld]

12. He's more evil than he is dumb

[davidpdx]

13. Yes and to take it a step further I predict he's going to vote against Sotomayor

being the tool he is.

Feel free to take my bet:

14. Any comparison of this scum and doorknobs

does a major disservice to doorknobs

[depakid]

15. Not particularly bright- but pretty clearly corrupt

and, while he's got a few too many years to go, I wouldn't put any money on his re-election....

16. Average brains with at best, very dicey morals

You can be brilliant and totally wrong as well as wrongheaded. Unka Pat, Darth Cheney, Darth Rumsfeld, and William F. Buckley I'd consider all to be very sharp but certainly twisted and evil. Hitler and Stalin weren't dummies either but they sure were fucked up in the head.

17. He is not dumb at all. He is quite good at getting to his goals

I completely disagree with him. I don't trust him at all and have followed his chairmanship with great suspicion.

But he is a long way from dumb. He is a smart guy who understands how to make a deal. We underestimate the guy when we hang a "dumb" label on him. The shenanigans with the Medicare Advantage program in 2007 and the 6:40 pm meeting about MA reform in April of that year foreshadowed all this trouble now with health care. Only no one cared back then.

Baucus is not dumb. Get that through your heads. He is very smart at getting what he wants and knows how to work a room, a crowd and a lobbying group. He didn't become chairman of one of the most important committees in the Congress through dumb luck.

18. see my definition of dumb above

kthxbye.

[TayTay]

19. Ah, so it's okay because when challenged

you change the definition of the word.

Clever in a way that is not effective or honest. Sounds like the tactics that Bush used, when challenged pretend you said something else.

20. Thank you for providing my office with a few good laughs this morning.

and they told me I couldn't make someone freakout with one, just-for-fun, bulletin board post.

WIN!

(on edit: last conversation: "I bet I can get another angry post with that one. Just wait")

[TayTay]

21. That is what you call a freakout?

Good Lord, a mild rebuke for calling something one thing and then claiming it is another?

I dread to see what kind of guffaws you would get with a full-blown discussion. The hilarity must never cease. Do you have meltdowns over all mild disagreements over word choices? Perhaps you could share the greatest hits on this and tell about how your office reacted to the great "their," "there" and "they're" debate of 2007. Must have resulted in smelling salts and a ban on caffeine where you work.

22. UPDATE WIN!!!

ha!

[TayTay]

23. Bad Huh

Chris Matthews does it better.

That Huh lacked tone, the surprise factor and a certain nasality that would have made it definitive.

It was a subpar effort. Perhaps you could apply yourself in the future and produce a better one.
