Meet the Stupids

Radar (hat tip the HuffPost) has posted its annual list of the top 10 dumbest legislators and it is pure comedy gold. I swear to God, it is amazing to me that these people got elected in the first place. The sheer idiocy revealed will make your eyes burn but damn is it funny. Here is an excerpt on Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska):

The scene: Fairbanks, Alaska, 1994. Congressman Don Young, already in office for 20 years, is on the stump preaching the virtues of Newt Gingrich's Republican revolution to a group of high school students. Just look at all the wasteful things the federal government does with taxpayers' money, he tells them. The National Endowment for the Arts, for example, funds art involving "people doing offensive things ... things that are absolutely ridiculous." One student asks, "Like what?"

"Buttfucking," replies the great scourge of obscenity and instructor of youth.

That is just fucking awesome. I can only imagine how a room full of high school students reacted to their Congressman deriding the NEA with such highbrow rhetoric. I am willing to bet those kids laughed so hard you could hear it from space. Go and read. You have worked hard today; you deserve a chuckle.
