Stupid Is as Stupid Does

Congressman Pete Hoekstra, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committe, is a bone head. After years of an Iraq War, multiple inspections by neutral parties, he seriously thinks there are WMDs in Iraq. Seriously.

And now he uses the most irresponsible of allegations, and verbal bank shots to link the press with Al Qaeda. Most of us have a chip in our brain that stops us from saying things we know sound stupid or half-baked. Pete opens his mouth and, for all intents, de-pants himself. Proudly:

More frequently than what we would like, we find out that the intelligence community has been penetrated, not necessarily by al Qaeda, but by other nations or organizations," he said.

I don't have any evidence. But from my perspective, when you have information that is leaked that is clearly helpful to our enemy, you cannot discount that possibility," he added.
