Thank you for providing a working link.

If the stupid son of a bitch had even bothered to read one or two good articles on the Middle East over the last 10 years, he'd know this. And Pelosi's going to put him right in to head the Intelligence Committee, without batting one of her bimbo's eyes. Dammit, it's embarrassing! Democrats have turned America into a joke.

But....but....but....how does this all relate to Bush being stupid?

Maybe if the Quiz was in Spanish, he would have done better. It's a shame Jane Harman, someone who knows the intelligence ropes is not the chair, but dems never cared about the most qualified, only about outcomes.

Why would anyone of intelligence be in our government?

Exactly. These are people that can make more money in government than in the private sector, think about that. They know they can't hack it in the real world, so at least they can go to Washington and get their hands on all that lobby money.

Well...We *tried* to warn them
about what the Dims...

[aShepard]

So, here's this guy who'se been on the Intelligence Committee, and he is totally clueless about the muslim situation?

And, Republicans are in the same dimwitted boat?

What in hell does this Committee do, sit around and have a circle jerk??

Truly scary!

I suppose that, in order to avoid leadership by a crook (Alcee Hastings), we had to settle for leadership by a dunce. Well, that's politics.

It doesn't sound like Nancy Pelosi will have such a Sunni disposition when she reads about her appointment, Rep. Reyes, stepping into some serious Shiite over the intelligence test.
I know of high-school kids that can answer those questions without hesitation. This is disgusting at best.

--I suppose that, in order to avoid leadership by a crook (Alcee Hastings), we had to settle for leadership by a dunce. Well, that's politics.--

So be it - at least the dims are exposing themselves as no better than the GOP as far as cronyism, incompetence and corruption.

It's also a good start if the DBM are beginning to notice the above. This article, along with the reelection of Frozen-Assets Jefferson, will enter the 2008 campaign soon.

"Why would anyone of intelligence be in our government?"

If you study hard, apply yourself, then things will work out. If you don't, you end up in Congress, in one of the least respected professions in our society.

This is like when I was asked a question about valence electrons in Chemistry class that I didn't know the answer to so I desperately replied, "Oliver Cromwell," on the very off chance that I actually might be correct.

[tobyhill]

I wonder if he knew that Saddam was a Sunni?

[George W. Bush]

When quizzed, top FBI officials didn't know this question either. It's the media's latest attempt to play who's the smartest kid in class. And, of course, they are.

Thanks for playing.

Like Hollywood, there are a lot of idiots in public office.

You can't throw a brick without hitting one in the head.
