Poll question: Kay Bailey Hutchenson - IQ Poll
I'm watching her on Tweety. She is such a dim bulb. It amazes me that she managed to get elected .... more than once. How dumb IS she?

1. Cool Whip
She has the IQ of Cool Whip. THose who vote for her have the IQ of sponge cake. PRe-packaged, cheap sponge cake. They go well together if you're not concerned about the health of our democracy.

Edited on Tue Jun-12-07 06:13 PM by MrModerate
Is she a transgendered person?

4. Maleability .... the ability to be bent and molded ..... in her case, it refers to the .......
...... ability of right wing ideologues to mold her votes and public appearance statements to suit their needs.

I have NO idea how you got transgendered out of that. :shrug:

9. "Malleable" is how you spell the word for what you meant, H2S

Leave out one L and it becomes a whole different matter.

10. He looked at maleability and saw male, perhaps
I looked at maleability and saw male, Latin (and modern Italian) for "evil." Which is not an option on your poll. Perhaps she is as sharp as the Devil's pitchfork (ie reasonably smart but too greedy/power hungry/just plain evil to do much with it.)

13. how cute, how small!
my youngest thinks that my lap is his, even though he can't fit. He sits his butt down on the floor, and rests his paws on my chest, leaning his body on my knees.
a cutie, but not small. at all.

6. Kay Bailey Hutchinson's not as bad as what could be
she was light years better than Phil Gramm. When they were closing Air Force bases in San Antonio, she was right there with everyone else during the protests. She probably rates slightly below Lloyd Bentson.

7. Re: supporting Bush on immigration, she said...
"I don't have the luxury of saying, 'Well, it's not gonna happen and, therefore we're gonna do nothing.'"

While she is only excusing her own unpopular support of Bush's legislation, her words made me think about what might happen if Democrats adopted a similar attitude with respect to impeachment and ending Iraq war funding.

I brought this up in an earlier posting and got a snide response about Hutchison as a role model, which missed the point, completely. I'm no cheerleader for any Republican but it doesn't mean I can't see potential value in some of the arguments that they employ in defense of their decisions. Dumb or not, Hutchison revealed a strategy that deserves some consideration, in my opinion.

11. Years ago...in Texas
she was the Treasurer or something like that (a money-handling job). She was so incompetent that she list millions and millions (maybe incompetent by design, but that was the story). The mess she left behind took years to untangle.

When I got wind that she was running for Congress, I honestly didn't think she could win with that reputation, but then again, I wasn't aware of the cultishness of Republicans.

29. Other: I can't say.
I have no idea who she is, I've never watched or listened to "Tweety," and, frankly, I don't think I've missed anything of value.
