saint_monkeyThe 25 dumbest political quotes of 2005.
All your favorite "I can't believe they said that" moments from a year chock full of them. I'm worndering how he narrowed it down to just 25?
Wolf Blitzer saying huricaine evacuees are "so poor and so black" is in there, as is Bill O'Reilley's attack on San Francisco.
But this is one I hadn't heard (There's the liberal media for you.)
"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." --President Bush, to a divorced mother of three in Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005 1
1 There were three dots in the quote, so I had to go look up the source. It was during the Q & A at one of the President's speeches. Here is the actual exchange, which is even funnier, considering that this was probably all planned to the last detail to try and make the President not look like an idiot.

MS. MORNIN: That's good, because I work three jobs and I feel like I contribute.
THE PRESIDENT: You work three jobs?
MS. MORNIN: Three jobs, yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that. (Applause.)
