The poster woman for the political left as the dumbest politician in America has been Sarah Palin. They still jump at every opportunity to make fun of her today, despite the fact that she hasn't run for anything since losing the VP to Joe Biden more than 4 years ago.
Which is funny by itself, given that Sarah would bury Joe any day, any place, any time in any intelligence test. The campaign to discredit Sarah Palin went from incessant frivolous lawsuits filed against her in Alaska to an HBO movie solely dedicated to proving that she was hopelessly ignorant during the McCain campaign.
I tuned into that HBO movie for a few minutes once. The scene I caught portrayed Sarah displaying a stunning ignorance as she seemed incapable of explaining the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan. Pardon me for not buying what you're selling, I sent out telepathically to the producers of the poorly disguised hit piece, as I surfed away to watch something else.
The left has this strange belief that anyone who chooses to be a conservative must be stupid, because in their world the political worldview of the left is the only reasonable one. Sarah was an easy target because of her unsophisticated accent and manner and the fact she didn't graduate from an Ivy League university. They have a lot more trouble making believable charges of stupidity against such high profile conservative women as Condi Rice. But they love to portray Michelle Bachman almost like Palin's sister.
The famous line from Forrest Gump was "Stupid is as stupid does". So I'll provide my bipartisan list I'll call the
Stupid Hall of Fame
Nancy Pelosi (#1 All-Time)
Barbara Boxer
Diane Feinstein
Lindsey Graham
Joe Biden
Harry Reid
Alan Grayson
Newest Inductee: Diana DeGette (the ignorant gun control advocate from Colorado's state legislature)
I'd suggest everybody in this hall of fame falls well below Sarah on the intelligence scale.
Other Halls of Fame worth considering in the future might be
Evil Hall of Fame (Headlined by luminaries like Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank and Dick Durbin. Alan Grayson may deserve a spot in two halls)
Corruption Hall of Fame (Headlined by Bob Menendez, Maxine Waters)
