What is the most stupid thing the Government has ever said. One item per post please. I will start

senator kennedy confusing osama/ obama ...

"Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

-Barack Hussein Obama

Regulatory income reporting for tax purposes is performed through "voluntary compliance" however you are "obligated" to report income and file for taxation purposes "under threat of fines and criminal penalties."

WTF is that other than an oxymoron, it's a totally contradictory statement? How can something be voluntary and yet you are obligated using extortion tactics? I wrote a thread on this crap with research at Tax Compliance and Invoicing the Tax Man.

one from good ole dick cheney:

1) "Go f**k yourself." --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during an angry exchange on the Senate floor about profiteering by Halliburton, June 25, 2004

Harry Whittington (after being shot in the face by Dick Cheney), "My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this week,"

So far a lot of these have been sort of haha slip ups, or innocent contradictions...

Here is one that is pure IGNORANT:

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

Legitimate rape....disgusting,

This happens to have several clips but it's one video.

"Mission Accomplished"



I forgot to add, now that it's "really over" they renamed Operation Iraqi Freedom "Operation New Dawn."

Yep, Dan Quayle is hilarious. How about this one:

"They hate us for our freedoms"

~George W. Bush~

Really????


"I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Bill Clinton
And of course, in typical political speak:
"While my answers were legally accurate, I did not volunteer information" Bill Clinton
LOL

You know this guy has to be high up on the food chain when the person you shot in the face gives you apologies.

"DON"T BREATH UNDER THE WATER"

I forget exactly where I saw this, but it was on some sign near a pool owned by a local borough

Not really stupid.
Or how about
"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you F&^% with me, I'll kill you all".
Gen Mathis to Iraqi Tribal Leaders.

Not stupid either.

Dana Perrino interviewed a Navy SEAL and this is what transpired.
Danna "Did you have to learn several languages?"
SEAL "No ma'am, we don't go there to talk"

"Child support is for the welfare of the children" ...

Everyone knows child support is designed to fuel hatred ..kill fathers ...and destroy the fabric of society ..its the number one issue degrading America and the Western world in general .. I'm surprised Anderson Cooper or someone didn't pose this question to the presidential debaters this year .. looks like nobody really gives a s$%! about the kids or families ..
