are you stupid?

i'm so stupid i've often thought i should enter politics..

...With each successive Tory leader I would develop a line of attack.... Major as weak, Hague as better at jokes than judgment, Howard as an opportunist; Cameron as a flip-flop...Any one of those charges, if it comes to be believed, is actually fatal. Yet, it's not like calling your opponent a liar, or a fraud, or a villain or a hypocrite.....[those claims] don't chime.....Whereas the lesser charge... precisely because it's more low-key, can stick. And if it does, that's that.....So game over.

- Always fire first
- Always assume your candidate hasn’t told you everything and what he hasn’t told you will come out
- If your candidate says “Don’t worry, I can raise the money”, worry – and demand to be paid up front
- Don’t let the polls drive you nuts. And if you don’t believe the numbers, order a new poll
- Don’t tell your candidate what to believe; tell him how to say it
- If your candidate doesn’t believe in anything, don’t do the campaign; he’s going to lose
- If your candidate doesn’t listen to you, quit; he’s a goner
- Never get into a pissing match with the person or persons who sleep with your candidate
- Never let your candidate control the spending – especially if it’s his own money
- If you think things can’t get any worse, relax; they can and they will

Lady Diane is in bed ill this morning so my a2k activity is not being adequately supervised.

I think it would be interesting to hear from people who are stupid and how their stupidity has effected their lives.
