Do you think she's stupid in comparison to most Senators or do you think she's stupid compared to most housewives? If you think she's stupid compared to the average housewife, I think you are totally wrong.
Since when is 'smart' a qualification for US senator?
Deceptive, corrupt, greedy, power hungry, dishonest, arrogant...seem more appropriate for our current crop

When you listen to some of those Senate sub-commitee hearings on C-Span and get to listen to most of these Senators, I think most of them are pretty bright. I'm not saying they all are. But I think most of them are pretty smart. You have a lot of doctors, lawyers, successful business people, etc.

I think many of the adjectives you used would also be correct.

When they had the baseball players in front of the sub-committe most of these dopes couldnt even pronounce their names correctly. You know because Sosa is such a tricky name.

The guy who acted like the biggest idiot was actually a republican. I believe it was Dan Burton who vigorously defended Roger Clemens.

Did I specify party? Being less stupid than the next guy doesnt make you any less stupid.

None of them were overly impressive at the baseball hearings. I guess it depends on the subject matter when it comes to them showcasing their intelligence.

belonging to either party and believing in either one of them, qualifies a person as being pretty stupid. i like to roll one up....take a few hits and laugh as the fools argue over which side is better at messing things up or screwing the general public in favor of big money interests. they are not smart enough to legalize it. they are too busy draining the country.

I'm no fan of Barney Frank and I don't agree with most of his politics. But all kidding aside, I do think he's a bright guy.

Barney Frank's one saving grace is that he is in favor of legalizing internet gambling.
