More On The Idiots Who Currently Govern Our Country.

Mike Sodrel, Congressman from Indiana's 9th District, on the 46 million Americans without health insurance:

"They're young people who think they're bullet-proof" and who buy color televisions rather than pay for insurance, he said.


Conrad Burns, Senator from Montana, on President Bush and the Iraq war:

Burns, at a debate Tuesday night with Democratic challenger Jon Tester, said he believes Bush has a plan to win - but added: "we're not going to tell you what our plan is."


George W. Bush, President of the United States, on shaking hands with black people:

(Obama) recalls a meet-and-greet encounter at the White House with George W. Bush, who warmly shook his hand, then “turned to an aide nearby, who squirted a big dollop of hand sanitizer in the president’s hand.” (“Good stuff,” he quotes the president as saying, as he offered his guest some. “Keeps you from getting colds.”)


Had enough?

UPDATE: Just to be clear, I don't think the President is a racist, though his policies do have a disproportionate impact on African-Americans (a function of class more than race). But the fact that he's so clueless that he'd shake someone's hand and immediately have to disinfect himself is embarrassing no matter who he was greeting.
