STUPIDITY: Worth analyzing

| July 24, 2016 9:00 PM

Larry Clark wants to talk about stupid. OK, let’s talk about stupid.

• Two unfunded wars, one based on false information (lies) costing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.

• The Iraq invasion creating ISIS.

• Shutting down the government costing about $24 billion.

• Congress spending $7 million on more than 40 Benghazi investigations and coming up with nothing.

• The witch hunt on the emails resulting in no charges.

• Idaho spending $1.9 million of taxpayers’ money to move the presidential primary election to March and still picking a loser (Lying Ted Cruz).

• Sixty+ times trying to repeal health care.

• Believing that Trump is going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it.

• In fact, believing just about anything Trump says (and you have the audacity to call Hillary Clinton a pathological liar).

• Blaming Clinton for Melania Trump’s plagiarism. Maybe if Trump becomes president by some fluke (God help us all if he does), then he can hire Michelle Obama as his speech writer.

So yes, I guess you are right. It is hard to cure “stupid.”
