Speaking of Stupid

Ted Turner is epically so.

I think that they're patriots [the Iraqi insurgents/terrorists] and that they don't like us because we've invaded their country and occupied it. I think if the Iraqis were in Washington, D.C., we'd be doing the same thing: we'd be bombing them too. Nobody wants to be invaded.

I actually heard an audio clip of this quote on the Laura Ingraham radio show this morning, and paraphrasing what one of Laura's producers said in response, Ted Turner is an inspiration for all the intellectually stupid people in this country who aspire to be a billionaire.
