This is stupidity so deep it's invincible-stupidity far too stupid to ever be capable of realizing it might not have all 52 cards. After all, how can you realize that, when the whole damn deck is missing?
Here's the deal: Barton asks Nobel Prize-winning Energy Secretary Steve Chu a dumb-ass question: "Where does Alaska's oil come from?" Then he proudly posts the exchange on YouTube, bragging on Twitter:
But, of course, Chu wasn't the least bit baffled-except, perhaps, as to why this clown was asking him such an irrelevant question. Barton was just way too full of himself with delight at his "coup" that he didn't even bother listening to what Chu said--and even if he had, there's no way on God's green Earth he could have understood it. He's just far too dumb:
Making an ass of himself and then pointing at the other guy is, apparently, about as bright as Burton gets. A few folks around the blogosphere have had some fun things to say about him, but I wanted to underscore that upside-downism may well be his own particular style of dumb. You see, back in early 2006, when the oiligopoly had driven prices through the roof, and Hugo Chavez used Venezuela's ownership of CITGO to lower prices to low-income communities in the US, Barton decided to go after CITGO (and only CITGO), using the cover story of investigating potential anti-trust violations. Waaay too stupid to know how stupid he is.
