  • The real stupid thing is that we're actually taking these sorts of people seriously as actual candidates for political office, instead of laughing them off the stage and hounding them into obscurity.

  • Hard to only include two Palin quotes, I know, but the best thing about the last quote in this list isn't the 'blood libel' part; it's the context in which she made the statement. You see, she's saying that people will be incited to violence due to the comments of media personalities. Only problem is, she was making that point in an abysmally stupid attempt to refudiate accusations that her comments (e.g. “don't retreat, reload”) led to the Jared Loughner shooting. Palin's so stupid she deserves an entire internet of her own.

  • You left out one of my favorites, which is Newt's explanation of how his love for America led him to commit serial adultery:  '”There's no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate,” said Gingrich.'

  • About the photo of Rick Perry, there's nothing dumb about it at all… America is the continent in wich, both, UNITED STATES of America (the actual name of the country) and México, are. And Ciudad Juárez is in deed the most dangerous city in AMERICA. Geez…
