Does "Stubborn Incompetence" Just About Sum It Up?
This seems to be the sound bite that the media is running with. I, for one, am thoroughly pleased with this. I couldn't think of a more succint way of putting it - except maybe "pig-headed incompetence," but that would never sound right coming from Kerry. Edwards, on the other hand...

Thank you Kerry campaign for finally getting your sh*t together! Kerry is at his best when he has all guns blazing - keep those barrels hot!

3. As Jon Stewert says "He may have driven us into a Brick Wall
But He didn't Blink".

4. I like the word "stubborn" 'cause it describes childish behavior.

5. I like it -- It's "blind stupidity" dressed up nicely.
"Stubborn incompetence" is a large and heavy horsecollar to hang on the Chimp and his minions. May they wear it well.

6. "Arrogance coupled w/ incompetence".
But, "stubborn incompetence" works, too!!!

8. 'Arrogant Incompetence' Doesn't Have The Same Music
The final 't' in 'arrogant' makes your tongue stop and have to start again. 'Stubborn incompetence' just rolls like the River Jordan.

(tricks you learn as an English major)

7. Yeah
I like the Flat-Earthers image too.

Stuck in the past.

Twisting in the wind...
