I think any major Democrat could have defeated Ford - the Republican equaliant of Carter, in terms of stupidity.
Agreed. After all, Gerald Ford is that man who said "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe".
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - GW Bush, 3/13/02
What does that have to do with Gerald Ford's stupidity or the 1976 election?
EDIT: By the way, nice way to tweak that quote...what he said was. "I have no idea where he is at, I just don't really consider him much of a priority".
Hmm, that's weird. OK, better selection of the quote.
Bush on Osama: "And, again, I don't know where he is. I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him."
