Who is the "dumbest" Democrat in the House or Senate ??

[kentuck]

Since America obviously likes dumb leaders. Intelligence is not an asset. We need a plain-speaking, dumb, man-of-the-people - just like Dubya. I'm at a loss to find anyone as dumb, yet so Machivellian. What's the problem? Do we not have any "dumb" Democrats?

[blueknight]

1. im not sure.......

but i think both are from kentucky. bunning and mcconnell

[Warpy]

4. I think you're right

Most of the spectacularly stupid Congressmen also combine ruthlessness with their dumbfuckery, which makes us err on the side of street smarts.

Miller might be a contender if his problem weren't a combination of hepatic encepalopathy and early Alzheimer's. He didin't start out this dumb.

Bunning may be the stupidest Congressman in the history of the republic.

[MNAZ]

18. Bunning and McConnell are both repubs. The question was

dumbest democrats.

[Julius Civitatus]

2. ZELLOUT MILLER

Not just dumb, but certifiably mad as well.

[Mistress Quickly]

3. Not in office anymore

[Julius Civitatus]

5. My bad...

:dunce:

[DemGirl7]

23. Well that happens to you when one gets Rabies...

you see one day Zell was bitten by a racoon in the woods, and he never got treated for it and...long story short that is the reason why he foams at the mouth when he speaks and doesn't make and sense either...hehehehehehe.

[Us vs Them]

6. BIDEN

Lame. Every time he talks.

Plus his skin is too tan and his teeth are too white. Gross.

[CottonBear]

7. I don't know if she's not in congress anymore:

Sonny Bono's widow. She's dumb as a box of rocks. I saw her ask questions at a televised hearing once. It was painful to watch. She had no idea what she was talking about. She may be a nice person, but she's in no way qualified to be an elected official.

edit: sp.

[kentuck]

8. There are plenty of "dumb" Repubs...

We're looking for a "dumb" Democrat... :)

[TN al]

10. She is a republican

[CottonBear]

12. Oops! Sorry. I'll nominate Zell then.

I actually voted for him when he ran for governor of GA. He didn't seem so stupid then - a little crazy - but not stupid. He's gotten much stupider since then. Fortunately, he's no longer in the Senate. Unfortunately, he was replaced by the Max Cleland hating Saxby Chambliss. :cry:

[cestpaspossible]

19. The op asked for Democrats

there's no shortage of dumb Republicans.

[bowens43]

9. Rengal

with his 'let's have a draft to stop the war' bullshit.

[TN al]

11. Its not bs...

...A draft would solidify the anti-war movement and motivate them to be heard.

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Sorry, Rangel's...

one of the slickest guys in the house.

The draft thing was a calculated manuever to embarass some of the others and impress his district. It didn't look like it worked to many, but it impressed the hell out of the important people-- his constituents. They knew exactly what he was doing.

[AntiCoup2K4]

14. How about Jerry Springer?

He's not in office currently, but he's expressed interest in running for both the Senate and for governor of Ohio. And America knows him as the host of one of the dumbest TV shows in history. Hell, he could even send out some of his past guests to campaign from him.

[mopinko]

16. this could be crazy like a fox

he is actually a really smart, progressive guy, and i think he would be a great asset to us if he got elected. but it is possible that the sheeple would never figure that out. win-win.

[ElaineinIN]

15. John Hostettler, hands down

Indiana 8

Was arrested for taking a gun on a plane... proferred the rationale that he needed to protect himself against terrorists.

dumb ass

[kentuck]

17. Is he a Dem?

:shrug: He's pretty dumb.

[ElaineinIN]

20. I'm apparently the dumbest Dem

as I don't appear to be literate, having missed that part of the question! D'oh! :dunce:

Still, he's pretty damn dumb

[LTRS]

21. Hate to break it to you, but most of both parties are pretty dumb

Ever talk to any of them? I have, and they are so clueless on most issues you wouldn't believe it. Maybe ignorant is a better term. They spend so much time in DC they have no clue what is happening in the real world to real people.

22. Ron Wyden and Patty Murray were in the top 10 on a Progressive
