U.S. President George W. Bush a big winner at World Stupidity Awards
It's easy to fall down a manhole, it's easy to put the candles too close to the drapes, it's easy to launch a military invasion of another country based on a few blurry satellite photos. This year my people, we scaled the Everest of stupidity and we stand upon its peak.
- Lewis Black
If I'd come up with something like this, I would have been excoriated by my Conservative readers, and with good reason. I'm not going to comment on this, other than to express my amazement at how widespread this opinion of Our Sainted President seems to be. Hmm...you think the voters might be on to something?
MONTREAL (CP) - The November elections may still be ahead of him but U.S. President George W. Bush came out a big winner Friday - at the World Stupidity Awards.
Bush was a dominating presence at the second edition of the awards presented at the Just for Laughs comedy festival. Host Lewis Black, whose biting satire is a highlight of TV's The Daily Show, took pride in the recognition the United States received at the awards, saying: "we are the gold standard."
Black said the awards "celebrate the pros" and "perfection in idiocy" because real stupidity is hard work....
Bush took the Stupidest Man of the Year Award and for the second time in the history of the two-year-old awards won the Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet....
Bush didn't take the category alone, however, and tied with British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Bush can be thankful that there is plenty of stupidity to go around, but he did seem to top the list. Y'all can draw your own conclusions, of course, but I think it is telling that so many Americans voted for Our Sainted President- and this is NOT an election I would imagine he wanted to win.
WE DESERVE BETTER.
