How in the hell did Condi get a Ph.d?? Good lord, she has got
to be one of the dumbest people I have ever seen!!

"Uhm, I believe the PDB was titled 'Bin Laden determined to strike within USA.'"

"Uhm...I don't remember a meeting about a terror threat."

"Uhm...I don't remember who I had to blow to get this job."

This is our Secretary of State, people...

1. I wonder what her doctoral defense was like?
Imagine her in front of her examining committee -- "I don't recall reading that book", "I don't remember anyone advising me to take that approach", etc.!

5. I KNOW! I wonder that all the time.....

You know I was a teaching assistant one time. And I have noticed this expression that some kids get in their eyes -when they haven't prepared for whatever the assignment is, but they are trying to bullshit their way out of a tough question. They blink a bit, speak too fast, try to kind of shut you up (since I was a lowly TA and not a prof. there is the possibility of shutting me down I guess-its an affluent school and the undergrads can be little Repukes in training).

Condi has that demeanour ALL THE TIME...specially when she is talking to reporters asking her actual questions unlike Katie Couric.She had it throughtout the 9/11 commission hearings.

I don't know if she is stupid-but damn is she incompetent...

I always try to emphasize this to my students...your degree doesn't count for squat..its just a piece of paper..Its what you know and who you are that ultimately matters.

the degree if you pay the money. I once worked for a school principal who bought his doctorate at an organization called NOVA (I think it is in GA). He was dumber than dirt, but he insisted upon being called "Dr." and he was so impressed at his importance.

Then there's Tommy Franks' (who is no great intellect himself) pick for "stupidest man on the earth":

15. She probably batted her eyes alot
and when that didn't work drew herself back hissed at the committee and gave them that ugly don't fuck with me look, or money changed hands somewhere.
This is the most incompetent person I've ever seen, including the chimp*.
