Stageringly Stupid People

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash: Praised bin Laden's Good Deeds "We’ve got to ask, why is this man [bin Laden] so popular around the world?" Murray said to pupils Wednesday at a government high school in Vancouver, Wash. "Why are people so supportive of him in many countries ... that are riddled with poverty? "He’s been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that. "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?" Murray said, according to The Columbian, the daily newspaper in Vancouver. The Associated Press today quoted Murray as telling the students: "War is expensive, too. Your generation ought to be thinking about whether we should be better neighbors out in other countries so that they have a different vision of us." (Archived find from 2002) Srsly asking:  Can anyone name a single female U.S. Senator of any party affiliation of whom history will be kind to? Scholars will certainly find Murray among the dumbest, only trailing Carol Moseley Braun (at this juncture).
