Bush takes honours in World Stupidity Awards
U.S. President George Bush is a big winner in this year's World Stupidity Awards, joining the likes of the entire petroleum industry and Vice President Dick Cheney as the recipients of top honours.

Bush was nominated in several categories, including Stupidest Statement of the Year and Most Out of Touch with Reality in the awards roundup which was created to "salute achievement in ignorance and stupidity."

1. This is great!
"Bush took honours in the category of "Stupidest Statement by George W. Bush." The president's televised statement to FEMA director Michael Brown during the Hurricane Katrina devastation: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," won easily.

Bush also won for being Most out of Touch with Reality."

and Cheney one one too:
"Not to be outdone, Cheney took his own award, winning the "Dumbest Moment of the Year" award for the act of shooting Whittington.

The petroleum industry took honours for reckless endangerment of the planet, and Fox News was recognized for having "Best Furthered Ignorance," in the world. "

:rofl:
