[senseandsensibility]

1. I wonder what his supporters think when they read

this. Seriously.

[Bluebear]

2. How "folksy" and "just like them" he is.

They root for him. That's how we got into this shit.

[senseandsensibility]

3. D'oh! I knew that!

We are so screwed.;(

[NanceGreggs]

4. I think what's left of his 'supporters' ...

... can't read.

Thanks a million for this!

[mogster]

11. I don't think they see the incredible in these quotes

Their sense of logic and knowledge are limited.

[FairVotes4all]

5. I do believe that one of those...

Is a Quayle Quote.

[Cobalt-60]

6. It just shows

how much pull old Bush really has.
I wouldn't graduate a pigtard like this from High School much less Yale.
By Vulcan, let's hope Cheny has the football.
He's greedy and evil, but at least he has a brain.

[Kiouni]

7. That's pretty funny

but i'm sure there is book of these out somewhere.

[Rex]

8. Absolute proof that most Bush supporters can't read.

[Marr]

9. Some of his supporters still claim the stupidity is just an act.

Of course, if you give them a second, they'll add that it's not a big deal anyway, since Bush is "surrounded by intelligent people", so they know he's an idiot.

And Bush isn't surrounded by intelligent people, either. Everyone from Cheney to Doug Feith has repeatedly demonstrated their intense stupidity and incompetence. This is very likely the stupidest government we've ever had.

10. not to mention, the most dangerous and deadly.
