I'm With Stupid

  I remember those t-shirts that had the "I'm With Stupid" slogan and underneath a finger pointing.  Stupidity is not an illness or a disease.   Fortunately, stupidity is not a crime.  Otherwise there would be a lot of people doing time; hard time.  Stupidity can be learned but some people seem to have been with the gift. 

  Let's start with Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.  Disregarding for a moment that no one is going to vote for a president named "Newt", he has a few other drawbacks.  The number one problem facing this country is the spiraling debt.  The wars, the economy, the country's falling world standing all relate to the debt.  If you came into contact with Newt in the last few years chances are he owes you money.  Newt's various business entities owe back taxes and fees in almost every state.  Personally Newt owes Tiffany's over $500,000 alone.  (Tiffany's always asked me, "Cash or charge?  Although we'd prefer cash from you Mr. Cullen.)  Immediately people began to question Newt's ability to handle a $300 trillion budget.  Newt did what all Republicans do in a time of crisis; went on vacation.  During his absence his staff, not being stupid, quit.

  Then there's the genius Congressman Weiner from New York.  First, his wife seems pretty hot to me but apparently she wasn't enough for him.  He began "sexting" with constituents on his public Congressional Facebook page.  I understand that when you become famous you by definition have "fans".  As an aside when we met the LOL always supported my quest for fame but recently confided she never thought fame was a serious possibility.  As it turns out even a broken closk is right twice a day.  I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for my fans.  Weiner on the other hand thought his fans would rather see him wearing nothing.  He also doesn't think his conduct warrants his resignation from Congress.  In Massachusetts his conduct would warrant him registering as a level two sex offender. 

  I was thinking of making a new t-shirt, "I'm a politician, I was born stupid."
