Reply #23: Understand Republican psychology.

The higher ups in the organization who ordered someone to find a Walter Reed photo wasn't stupid. He was shameless in pandering to the same vets they've been stabbing in the back at Walter Reed, but he probably wasn't stupid. He was simply too smug and too lazy to have that image double checked.

The goober he delegated the image search job to isn't stupid either. He was simply not happy having to do grunt work when probably he'd joined the Republican PR firm hoping for more glamorous work--maybe hoping to be the next Karl Rove.

This isn't stupidity at work. It's laziness and hubris that does Republicans in.
