More Dumberester

In one memorable scene, Maines watches news footage of the president being interviewed about the furor that followed the singer's on-stage comment that she was ''ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas,'' which resulted in the group being dropped from most radio stations, as well as protests and plummeting sales. ''The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind,'' Bush told Tom Brokaw at the time, adding, ''They shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street.''

After watching this footage, Maines repeats the president's comment about how the group shouldn't have their ''feelings hurt,'' incredulous, and then says, ''What a dumb f---.'' She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush, and reiterates, ''You're a dumb f---.''

Of course Ms. Maines who is the President of the most powerful nation in the world and who is a country music singer trying to appeal to a crowd that hates country music? Who is the dumb one?

It irritates me to a certain extent leftoids constantly harp on about the President's supposed stupidity. However, it keeps them losing and when I think of it that way it makes it much nicer.

President Clinton warned his party and supporters not to "misunderestimate" George W. Bush and they keep doing it. Who are the dumb ones?
