449 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said

by Ted Rueter

Supposedly some of our brightest speakers, politicians say some pretty stupid things. Members of America's major political parties put out a roaring stream of downright dumb comments, pronouncements, and observations. For proof, look no further than Ted Rueter's two new books, 449 Stupid Things Republicans Have Said and 449 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said.The Dems fair little better in 449 Stupid Things Democrats Have Said. Al Gore said, "I would have kissed Tipper longer at the convention." Hillary Rodham Clinton, during a 2000 campaign interview with Hot 97, a Manhattan hip-hop radio station, stated, "Motown, Motown: That's my era. Those are my people." Rueter snags them all and provides two wonderful collections of quotations that will truly go down in history.

[Michael P. · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sure, Republicans have said lots of stupid things. George W. Bush is quoted more often than anyone else in this book - it was published in 2004 - with Ann Coulter taking the number two position. Her quoted comments are not just stupid but vicious. The problem is that some of the so-called stupid lines, mostly by other people, were intended as jokes and some of those are quite clever when understood in context. Lumping the jokes in with the honestly dumb lines is intellectually dishonest and I have a harsh opinion of people who are intellectually dishonest.

Just wasn't all that interesting. Way too many GWB quotes.
