Another day, another stupid statement

To be fair, everyone makes stupid statements now and then. You either misspeak, confuse facts, or experience some other form of cognitive dissonance. But lately we have been treated to s stream of stupid emanating from the political Left, the group who has decided that they are the smart ones, the ones who should be making our decisions for us, since we might not choose correctly.

Today's exercise in opening one's mouth and removing all doubt comes to us from our good friend Chucky Schumer, (D, NY). The senior senator from the Great State of New York informs us peons that contrary to what most of us learned in junior high school or elementary school civics classes, the three branches of the United States federal government are the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.

Silly me! For some reason I always thought the three branches were the Legislative, the Judicial, and the Executive. Somewhere along the line I picked up the idea that the House and the Senate together comprised the Legislative branch of the government.

The level of stupid flowing out of the Democrat party these days is stunning. From the shockingly stupid statements from Hank Johnson (D, GA) regarding his fear that Guam might "tip over and capsize" to the firehose of stupid we are treated to flowing from the benighted representative from Houston TX, Shelia Jackson Lee, all the way up to our own Dear Leader thinking that Austrians speak "Austrian" or that the "P" in corpsmen is silent, the Democrats seem to have cornered the market in pure unadulterated dumb.

These are the people who know better than the rest of us, right?
