t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | The Pure Essence of Stupid

When considering the recent behavior of the Bush administration, and of some Republicans who rally to his banner, this slice of angry literature comes as close to a defining statement as one may ever see:

"I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know."

How stupid do you think they can get? There was a science fiction story, in Analog I believe, about a race that negotiated by abasements and were astounded by a human's ability to creatively super extravagantly abase himself. They should see some of our insults.
