He's dumber than any "blond woman" I've ever met. He's blonder than a Hef concubine, yet Republicans genuflect to him. WTF?

2. Too many dumb brunettes who bleached their hair
to look like kapok running around Hollywood and having dummies throughout the country imitate the look. Since they couldn't quite manage innocence, they settled for stupidity.

Before the advent of hair bleaching products that didn't turn hair green, blondes weren't seen as any dumber than the rest of us. Now their reputations are tarnished by Britney Spears, Ann Coulter, and Laura Ingrahm, to mention just three of many.

All blondes aren't dumb, but it seems as though a lot of very dumb women want to be blondes.

For those unclear on the concept, most of this post is :sarcasm:

5. Disclaimer
I'm as blond as they come. I'm a male, and actually sick of hearing my hair-cutters telling me how "they" (women) would love to have my naturally blond hair. It's just hair. But apparently, it's also an IQ indicator for many of us, DUers included.

8. It's the chemicals. Unregulated poison seeping into cranial skin,
through the arterial pathways in the neck and directly into the brain.

It's a wonder most women over 50 aren't considered "dumb" too.

Interestingly and on a more serious note, Hitchcock catapulted the "Blonde" into the sex symbol we know and love today. He felt that the Hollywood brunettes of the day: Sophea Loren and etc. were too overtly sexual. What tripped his trigger was the icy, reserved, damaged blonde that in his words:

“the drawing-room type,the real ladies, who become whores once they’re in the bedroom … Sex should not be advertised. An English girl, looking like a school teacher, is apt to get into a cab with you and, to your surprise, she’ll probably pull a man’s pants open.”

So he kept making films about that woman. And she became the blonde sex symbol. Who knows how she got dumberized.....

4. He's not dumb. He's manipulative.
I'm sick of people mistaking deception for incompetence. Tweety is an actor, designed to play a part, designed to disseminate a particular opinion to the masses. And he does it well. The only dumb people are the ones who ask "Has Tweety seen the light?" and discuss his personal politics like he's a real person who makes real decisions.

Chris Matthews is a paid propaganda agent.

I'd give that one a rec, for sure.

10. Thanks. The "incompetence" meme has a suprising number of supporters here.
Anyone who considers this administration "imcompetent" is an enabler of said administration, whether it be intentional or not. If you think this administration is incompetent then by definition you believe that they are trying to do the right thing (on Iraq and every issue) but are simply unable to.

I believe everything this administration has done, and will do, is coldy calculated to bring about the implementation of their agenda. And they've been pretty fucking good at it so far.

7. Lots o'dumb blondes have their own show--it's just that they are all on the same one
(they are just too dumb to realize it).

I think I can get away with saying that, fwiw... :hi:

BTW: Doesn't Hef ever get bored with the Clone Princesses?
