What an total douchebag. I just watched a couple of clips of her and I have to wonder if she really is that stupid or is it an act? ---

Such economy of posting you exhibit here. Is this all you’re bringing? I mean come on. You could at least mock her accent or something. Or flesh out why her ideas lacked wisdom, or would clearly lead to a Godless communist state. Tell us she’s a hideous beast. Throw us a bone here, eh? I can’t even get worked up over this OP ---

Yo **Clothahump** , I could throw you a Tu Quoque if it would make you feel good. Help you spice up the old OP. Just this once, I’m in a good mood. Give me a wink and I’ll mention… You know. ---

Help us out here. I’m willing to entertain the idea that she’s stupid (hell, the Huffington Post is a pretty shitty and biased “news source”), but I really don’t know much about her. Where are these clips? I want to see the stupidity. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > What an total douchebag. I just watched a couple of clips of her and I have to wonder if she really is that stupid or is it an act? The sad/funny part of this is that: 1. No one here was even talking about her here until _you_ brought her to our attention, and 2. Your rant is so pathetic and juvenile that people will now think better of her _because_ you oppose her. Could you do use a favor and start another anti-Obama droolathon? He could use the boost. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Could you do use a favor and start another anti-Obama droolathon? He could use the boost. That’s being currently covered with the thread containing this gem: “Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s attempt at health care “reform” has failed miserably. amirite??? HAHAHA!!” No, I’m not making that up. It’s just getting sad, really. ---

I can’t even get worked up over this OP Truth to tell, I couldn’t either. It was just a WTF moment and I happened to be logged into the Dope when it happened. She’s just not really worth the effort. But I do admit, I am astounded as to how many people listen to and believe her bullshit. ---

> [@Lobohan](#): > > You probably don’t know this, but you’re far, far stupider than her. > > In addition you’re ignorant. But at least that can be fixed. 😃 No, Lobo, I’m not. That’s a given. I met her once, long ago. I used to work for Huffco and Michael Huffington used to bring her into the office on occasion, just before they got married. My impression of her then was that she was a passingly cute airhead. She’s still an airhead and that can’t be fixed. ---

You know, I was going to reply with a good snark to match your drooling bullshit, but it’s just not worth the effort. Make yourself useful for once and close this thread. As I said earlier, it was a WTF moment. ---

I’m closing this for two reasons: 1. It was a tepid rant; and 2. The OP asked me to **Gfactor** Pit Moderator
