Stupid Is as Stupid Says

Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle:
You can fit more than 250 states the size of Delaware within Alaska’s border.
As I noted previously:
Alaska had 626,932 residents as of the 2000 Census; Obama’s state senate district had 653,647.
Lingle’s statement was so stupid that she could only have said it to people she thought were stupid herself.
Was she saying it to you?

Incidentally, the federal government owns and controls 98% of Alaska’s acreage. How much of Delaware does it own and control?
Stupid is as stupid says.

This just seems like business as usual. Scare tactics, personal attacks, and outright lies ("You could make a strong case that [Palin's] experience exceeds any others in the race." What?) have been winning elections. Why stop a pattern that continues to work?
