If You Find Yourself Pulling For "Stupid" In a Stupid-Or-Evil Decision - You've Already Lost.
My mom told me that once. Seems relevant now for some reason I can't quite put my finger on.

2. I honestly think Bush has dementia. So I lean toward stupid
rather than evil.

3. It's funny 'cause it's true.

4. That Is An Excellent Line, Sir
One favorite of mine strikes a similar note:

"I prefer the wicked to the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest."

7. I love this!
We all come to that dilemma at some point: stupid, or purposely wicked?

Your mom--SMART!

8. I'm going along with stupid...and I agree that she certainly loses in this
I cannot imagine a worst thing she could have said at this point in the race.

I suspect it does hasten her withdraw and greatly reduces her clout and may bring an end to the whole "dream ticket" discussion.
