Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Day

By Ed Brayton

From Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas):

In an interview on the Fox News Channel, Smith, R-San Antonio, said he didn't want to "be radical, but to me, the greatest threat to America is not necessarily a recession or even another terrorist attack."

"The greatest threat to America is a liberal media bias, and I think that because if the American people don't know the facts, they can't make good decisions and if the American people can't make good decisions, then our democracy is threatened," Smith said.

Smith also thanked the Fox network for being "the only balanced coverage out there, and it's much appreciated by a lot of us."

The mind absolutely boggles.
