"It is the most powerful [small-arms] weapon in the military arsenal and that is where it belongs," Eddington said. "You don't shoot deer with a bullet like that. If you did, you would cook it."
Oh My Gawd.
How #$*%@#($%* stupid are these people??!?!?!?!?
It's not a matter of how stupid they are.
It's a matter of how stupid they think WE are!
"Tell a lie long enough......"
How #$*%@#($%* stupid are these people??!?!?!?!?"
Pretty amazing, isn't it?
Actually, though, the people who scare me aren't the officials like Eddington, it's the people who elect the Eddingtons.
The only thing dumber than these elected officials are the people who elect them.
I live in a congressional district that keeps electing the most corrupt politicians you can imagine. Out current congress-critter, "The Reverend," Emmanuel Cleaver... Well, where to start here? Time and time again, he backed major boondoggles that we're long on promises, and short on delivery, but either way, his buddies got rich, and the tax payers got soaked. His wife was hired as a consultant to the KCMO school district, where she made an obscene amount of money. Cleaver got caught not paying taxes on a business... It just goes on and on and on...

Incredibly, profoundly stupid.
