We are living in the decade of useless, painfully stupid people

[Maven]

being rich, famous and ruling the world. Think about it--it's the overriding theme of this era.

George Bush

Britney Spears

Jessica Simpson

Silvio Berlusconi

Paris Hilton

Bill Frist (I realize he has an M.D. - still)

Anna Nicole Smith

Help me add to the list

[blonndee]

1. Bill O'Reilly

Tom Coburn

Toby Keith

Pat Robertson

[Maven]

3. Oh, the PUNDITS!

How could I forget...

[JuniperLea]

2. We worship idiots

And condemn anything even remotely intellectual.

[OwnedByFerrets]

4. Each decade has its own label

What will this decade's label be?

[El Supremo]

5. The Moran Years n/t

[JuniperLea]

12. Yeeehaw! That was Supremo! n/t

[JuniperLea]

11. Mediocrity rules n/t

[jimshoes]

6. How about Paris Hilton and

anyone who even knows her.

[AndyA]

7. Don't forget Rush Limpdick. n/m

[DireStrike]

8. I think it's just that increased information traffic has allowed us to see

How stupid everyone is... especially the rich and the people running the world.

[TwentyFive]

9. "doctor" Laura Schlesinger

Mental health advise from a hypocritical right wing bigot is a nightmare. Worse, she deceives people into thinking she has a Phd in psychology...when she does not.

[neoblues]

14. Just like "Dr." Phil...

Total jokes (though occasionally interesting 'showmen'; too bad we don't still have Vaudville). What should we call this? "Entertainment Psychology"?

Still, they do make big bucks... (just like limpbaugh, o'really, etc, who engage in what? "Entertainment Politics"?).

17. Her mother passed and was left to rot -- she didn't even check up on her.

[BlueJazz]

18. fearthem..Shame on you!....Dr. Laura Schlesinger did care about..

..her mother.
While it's true she waited quite a while to go see her, I still believe she just wanted to see her Mummy.

[SmokingJacket]

10. Rich and stupid, yes, but Britney and the other young women

on your list are hardly ruling the world. There's a big difference between the damage done by them and that done by the men on your list.

Interesting, isn't it, that so many of the real dumb-dumbs in the public eye are male rulers or female entertainers...

[Maven]

13. True, but let's not forget male entertainers like

Nick Lachey, Britney's husband (I can't remember his name at the moment), etc.

Although I would like to put Condi on that list, I don't think she's stupid. Just evil.

15. stupid people -

wow - your topic line was the exact conversation theme during dinner earlier. scary - but so freaking true.

[Poppyseedman]

16. Decade???

Try the last 20 years

[conflictgirl]

21. That's exactly what I was going to say.

Stupidity doesn't seem like a recent phenomenon to me.

[ladjf]

19. Nature will not long tolerate this. Baring fantastic good fortune,

stupid individuals perish.

[omega minimo]

20. Customer service "associates"

trained by bonehead managers

who don't know and don't care and don't care that they don't know that they don't care :puke:
