Did you ever hear this one: What’s the difference between dumb and stupid? The supposed answer is, “You can’t fix stupid!” Keeping the above in mind, recently I came across some statements made by politicians, which prompted my thinking there has to be a litmus test for measuring the stupidity that every wannabe politician must take and answer publicly before qualifying to run for public office. Is it true elected politicians can get away with statements like these: U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) “It’s racist to only allow citizens to vote.” Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “Just because someone is here illegally doesn’t mean they broke any of the laws.” “Building a wall will violate the rights of millions of illegals.” “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” Former President George W. Bush “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” “There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again.” “Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” “They misunderestimated me.” Former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld “Reports that say something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” Former President Bill Clinton “It all depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” Former Washington, DC mayor Marion Barry “Outside of the killings, DC has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.” Former President George H.W. Bush “You cannot be president of the United States if you don’t have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can’t be. And we are blessed. So don’t feel sorry for — don’t cry for me, Argentina. Message: I care.” “For seven and a half years I’ve worked alongside President Reagan. We’ve had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We’ve had some sex…uh…setbacks.” Former President Ronald Reagan “Well, I learned a lot….I went down to (Latin America) to find out from them and (learn) their views. You’d be surprised. They’re all individual countries.” “Facts are stupid things.” “I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.” Former Vice-President Al Gore “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” “A zebra does not change its spots.” Obama-isms – all time Obama gaffes “I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.” Former Vice-President Dan Quayle “The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century’s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.” “What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.” “I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.” “Welcome to President Bush, Mrs. Bush, and my fellow astronauts.” “I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy—but that could change.” “Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child.” Former Vice-President Joe Biden “A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States—Barack America!” “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent….I’m not joking.” “Folks, I can tell you I’ve known eight presidents, three of them intimately.” Former President Jimmy Carter “I’ve looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God knows I will do this and forgives me.” Former President Richard Nixon “I was under medication when I made the decision to burn the tapes.” “When the President does it that means it’s not illegal.” Former Vice-President Dick Cheney “Go f**k yourself.” Now, here’s the strangest of the strange about politicians: The most popular Democrats who once were Republicans: My late father always used to say, “A Republican was a Democrat who didn’t make it and a Democrat was a Republican who didn’t make it.” I guess Dad was right! All the stupid things said and done in the past by politicians of various stripes were overlooked and under-reported by the media. So, what’s going on now? Apparently, the critical political-life-altering issue was the ultimate political disappointment that Donald J. Trump won the Electoral College vote 306 to Hillary Clinton’s 232! That’s not the first time such an upset occurred and was accepted by the country at large, but what’s been happening since truly is unprecedented—lawlessness bordering on anarchy!
