Who Is Dumber? Bush or Palin

[berni_mccoy]

I had to ask myself this question when I learned that her oldest son's name really is Track Enfield Palin.

I honestly think she's dumber. But what say DU?

[yourout]

1. Toughest question of the day.

[berni_mccoy]

2. I had to seriously pause before I determined my answer on this... Damn...

[melody]

3. Which is dumber, a rock or a brick?

It's really impossible to determine.

[berni_mccoy]

5. Seriously made me LOL... I'd have to go with rock... Brick has form.

[earthlover]

29. Aw, come on! Rocks were made when God created Earth 5000 years ago....

Just ask Palin!

[Catch22Dem]

4. She's dumb as FUCK!

At the very least, Bush has the benefit of life experience. She doesn't even have THAT. Palin wins, hands down.

[9119495]

6. Dumb or not, bush has made it 7 years plus as POTUS...

I don't think Sarah Palin would last 3. Impeachment, resignation, or total destruction of the planet would cut her term short.

[vaberella]

7. He may have gotten a C at Yale, but at least he has some knowledge of the law of the land.

Palin can offer me a half assed report on if the Mets lost again.

[mak3cats]

8. My head just exploded trying to decide (n/t)...

[melody]

13. It's like that Schrödinger's cat deal

It can make you a little crazy just considering the question.

[codjh9]

I think he's probably dumber, but she's potentially WORSE/more far-right (sounds crazy, I know)

[RoccoR5955]

9. Missing option...

...should have an option that they are both as dumb as a bag of rocks.

[27inCali]

10. Bush isn't dumb

it's a fucking act to look all folksy for those dumbshit rural voters too stupid to tell he's not really one of them, just pretending + he's an alcoholic so occasionally some of the dumb shit he does is when he's drunk.

[dchill]

11. Magic 8-Ball(tm) says...

"Ask again later."

[Frumious B]

12. It kills me to say it, but I would take four more years of Bush/Cheney over McCain/Palin.

Fortunately, we have Obama/Biden to elect instead.

[dchill]

14. My advice: Don't say things that kill you.

It might be fatal! :)

[polichick]

15. Neither is as dumb as the people who vote for them.

[Abacus]

16. Bush, but Palin's more dangerous

[BlooInBloo]

17. (shrug) Hairsplitting.

[MichDem10]

I never thought there would be anyone dumber, but she truly takes the cake!

[andym]

18. Bush is intellectually lazy and a poor speaker

Bush is intellectually lazy and a poor speaker, but he appears to be at least of average intelligence. His problem is world view and his political comrades.

Palin is probably worse, perhaps much worse and probably has never even been exposed to the level of thinking necessary to graduate Yale and Harvard Business School even with C's.

[Stop Cornyn]

19. Bush is dumber, but Palin may be meaner and is definitely less qualified.

[Faygo Kid]

20. I went with Bush out of sentiment, but five colleges in six years??

When the hell is some reporter going to look into that? We all know frequent transfers (I went to two), but five in six years? I know of no one who did that. Why? Why is this not being looked into?

[Alexander]

21. That's her son's middle name???

:wow:

And Trig's second middle name is Van, as in "Van Palin".

Sounds like "Van Halen"!

Sarah Palin is an idiot.

[freespirit5]

22. Yes !

Yes

[JustAnotherGen]

23. Palin

But she's much snakier that Bush is. Vicious, cold person. Bush is just an affable little dumb dumb. :-)

[NotThisTime]

24. I never thought we'd have someone dumber than Bush, but here we are :(

[valerief]

25. That's like asking, "What is dumber, a red rock or a gray rock?" Rocks are dumb. Period. nt

26. We've all heard of "Bushisms" - now there are "Palinisms"

I'm sure there will be lots more before November.

27. "A box of rocks" would have come in third in that poll n/t

[Tutonic]

28. Bush, we can point to that Idiot's record. Palin? The Jury is still

out.

[PatSeg]

30. Gotta say Bush

but he's been in the public eye longer, so there is more evidence. Palin comes across as more conniving to me, like a fox.
