Stupidity In Vermont

The town of Brattleboro, Vermont is going to vote in March on whether or not President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should be indicted for war crimes, perjury or obstruction of justice if they ever step foot in Vermont because they '[lied] to Congress and U.S. citizens about the basis of a war in Iraq'.

What a bunch of morons.

Even they know it's an empty gesture at best:

Kurt Daims, 54, of Brattleboro, the organizer of the petition drive, said Friday the debate to get the issue on the ballot was a good one. Opposition to the vote focused on whether the town had any power to endorse the matter.

"It is an advisory thing," said Daims, a retired prototype machinist and stay-at-home dad of three daughters.

Later in the article, Daims floats the vicious implication of similarity between Bush and Hitler:

"If Hitler were still alive and walked through Brattleboro, I think the local police would arrest him for war crimes."

He's missing the glaringly obvious fact that Hitler actually was guilty of war crimes.

What a bunch of morons, led by a stupid idiot.

Even they know that they have absolutely no power to enforce any such vote, and therefore it's a waste of taxpayer resources to even address it.  But, they're doing it anyway.  What good will it accomplish?  Is this the best use of their time?  Daims pointed out that 'even members of the local police department' signed the petition to get the vote on the March ballot.  Do they have nothing better to do in Brattleboro, Vermont than run around making empty gestures just for the sake of making empty gestures?

I'm curious as to when is someone going to ask Brattleboro residents -- and Daims in particular -- for a vote on whether or not to indict Bill Clinton for exactly the same thing?  I've documented this fact very carefully on this very blog - if Bush can be condemned for any lying or deception in relation to Iraq's activities, so can Clinton, Al Gore, many other Democrat leaders, and pretty much the entire rest of the Western world.  After all, everyone -- EVERYONE -- agreed that Saddam Hussein had WMDs and full intentions to use them.  Clinton even ordered some cruise missiles to destroy an abandoned factory (a totally useless political gesture...I wonder if he ever lived in Brattleboro...?) to illustrate the point.  Bush just happened to be the only one with enough spine to back up words with action.

Daims and his crew in Brattleboro are complete, mind-bogglingly stupid morons.

Albert Einstein had some choice words to say about stupidity*:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Daims is apparently trying to prove Einstein's point.  But, this is America, and no one will stop them from bringing scorn and disgrace on themselves.  I'm happy to help point it out.

There's my two cents.
