Sorry if I’m butting in. I enjoy a similarly named thread, mostly about stupid Republican ideas with left-wingers competing to post the wittiest reply. This thread seems in many ways similar, though the sets of “stupid” Republicans and “witty” leftists differ.

While Republican heroes like Gingrich, Rove and Beck expouse stupid ideas deliberately (selling books or campaigns) and would be happy to be leftist slime-ball liars if it paid better, some Republicans remind one of _Sixth Sense_ wherein the Bruce Willis character … didn’t know his idea was stupid.
