Idiot of the Day

WINNER! Nancy Pelosi has declared herself “the most powerful woman in America.” Careful there, Nancy. Keep saying things like that and you’ll find yourself in Fort Marcy Park with a gun in your hand, a bullet in your brain, and everyone declaring it a suicide.

FIRST RUNNER UP! Barney Frank, who has said that American companies can expect proposals mandating increased wages and health care, a boost in union membership, and greater scrutiny of trade agreements. Mr. Frank wants to reduce the “inequality” that inhibits economic growth, apparently believing that raising the cost of doing business will lead to greater economic growth, when all it’s actually going to do is add to unemployment. After calling himself a capitalist, Mr. Frank said he intends to hold hearings into what the government can do about “income disparity.” That’s not capitalism, Barney, that’s communism and it’s failed everywhere it’s been tried. Obviously, Mr. Frank has been feeding at the public trough for so long that his contented grunts have blocked out the sound of reality.

SECOND RUNNER UP! Pat Robertson, who claims that God told him that America is going to be attacked this year. No kidding! Anyone with a brain knows that we’re going to be attacked again, it’s just a question of when. Maybe this year, maybe not. The first question is: How bad is the attack going to be? The second question is: Will it be enough to wake up the fools in Washington to the fact that we’re really in trouble and need to do something?
