The Dumbest Man In American Politics

Mr. Vance went on to point out that he doesn't live in Springfield,Ohio, so those duck and cat eating ni--, er, immigrants, are not his neighbors.

He said to him, "How do you read what is written in the Law?"

And he answered:  "You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your energy, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

Jesus said to him, "You have given the correct answers; do this and you will have life."

But with a view to justifying himself, he said to Jesus, "But who is my neighbor?"

Jesus replied:

There was a man going from Jerusalem down to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers.  They stripped him, beat him up, and went off, leaving him half dead.  Now by coincidence a priest was going down that road; when he caught sight of him, he went out of his way to avoid him.  In the same way, when  Levite came up to the place, he took one look at him and crossed the road to avoid him. But this Samaritan who was traveling that way came to where he was and was moved to pity at the sight of him.  He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring olive oil and wine on them.  He hoisted him onto his own animal, brought him to an inn, and looked after him.  The next day he took out two silver coins, which he gave to the innkeeper, and said, 'Look after him, and on my way back I'll reimburse you for any extra expense you have had.'

'Which of these three, in your opinion, acted like a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?"

He said, "The one who showed him compassion."

Jesus said to him, "Then go and do the same yourself."
--Luke 10:25-37 (SV)

  JD Vance is, without doubt or competition, the dumbest person to ever run for national office. And I remember Dan Quayle and Sarah Palin. Both are redeemed from the bottom of history's barrel by Vance.
