How Stupid Can You Be?

If you think that you can call an 83 year old man and leave a venomous voicemail recording regarding his son (who happens to be a Governor) you are Stupid with a capital "S".

Roger Stone, a highly placed and prominent GOP affiliated consultant (you can roll your eyes at this point.) Did just that with the father of New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer.

Apparently Mr. Stone must have played with lead painted toys in the past to actually think this was a good idea. What is worse is that Stone said someone must have broken in to his home and made the call to frame him.

As much as I like to use democrats for verbal punching bags, I can't ignore the rabid stupidity of what this guy did.

Here are a few hints for all of you wana be political wonks out there:

1. Tape recorders and politics do not mix!
   
2. Don't talk trash to someone's parents.
   
3. Don't say, "I was framed!" when you get caught for being stupid.
   

If you follow these few rules and don't do anything else that can be construed as remarkably stupid, you can play in the political sandbox.
