Stop saying that! Nothing makes Palin seem smart by comparison. Not even a cabbage.

Just a little experiment here. Here's a meme, you'll have to click on the link. After you've viewed it, please tell me how you'd characterize it.

Another experiment for the gen audience here. Here's a link to a brief political video. How would you characterize this?

The meme author is confused.

Not sure what you’re looking for. Both are political humor. The first is clever, but too wordy for a good meme. I’ve seen lots of good Hitler videos. This one strikes me as kind of meh. A little more time spent crafting the subtitles would have made it better.

Well something like...do you think the two links are funny? Are they in poor taste? Are they simply stupid? Are they in some way accurate? Is the Warren link racist? Any type of characterization such as that.

What if we rank ordered the bottom of the IQ pile in this way:
1. Jellyfish
2. Cabbage
3. Bachman
4. Palin

Hmmm... I might quibble on the actual order here, but I think you've nailed the bottom 4.

I was just messing with Gunnar. I had to: he made the cardinal sin of putting "smart" and "Palin" in the same sentence without a "not" in there somewhere. Definite no-no.

I think this is an excellent example of the kind of desperate attacks people make toward left-leaning politicians because they're jealous of all the justified attacks people can make toward right-leaning politicians.

What is the actual complaint about Warren's claim?

That it wasn't true? Since when does the GOP care about liars?

That she used it on an application? Since when does the GOP care about application accuracy?

There is absolutely nothing the right-wing can complain about this that doesn't make them raving hypocrites. But then, hypocrisy is the only game they have.

I think the Elizabeth Warren thing has a fragment of humor. I think it is reasonable she has come clean about her family genealogical error.

The Hitler thing struck me as pretty pointless.
