The end of the year lists

Nobody ever asks who are the dumbest Americans. Unfortunately, most of them serve in the US Senate or the House.

My ten biggest dopes:

1. Barbara Boxer; others abide the question, she is free, in the words (cribbed from somewhere else) of the master P G Wodehouse.

2. Nancy Pelosi: she ran a good race, but Boxer outclassed her.

3. The despicable Carl Levin.

4. Arthur Sulzberger the Third or whatever number he is--apostle of political correctness.

5. Howell Raines, ditto. I hope he has found his true calling as a ditchdigger.

I'm tired now; I'll come up with the rest tomorrow. Nobody is going to read it, anyway.
