Republicans say the dumbest things.

The Top 10 Conservative Idiots - The Top 10 Conservative Idiots, No. 265 Rick Santorum: "As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States." Peter King: On Feb. 9, 2006, House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-NY) spoke at the Merrick Jewish Center in Merrick, NY. King told his constituents that "the situation (in Iraq) is more stable than you think." He cited "bumper to bumper traffic," shopping centers, restaurants, video stores, vendors, and hotels to conclude that being in Baghdad is "like being in Manhattan." Yeah Baghdad is very much like Manhattan just forget about the silly things like civil war, road side bombigs and death squads and Baghdad is the Manhattan of the Middle East.
