In the quiet of summer, it’s easy to forget that the political season is not far away.  Soon, the people who don’t deliver anything during the rest of their terms offer to make us laugh for free in the hopes that we’ll vote them into another term of ineffectiveness.  It might be too sad to be funny as the reality of an election approaches, but right now we have the luxury to laugh.  This month, Humorousness brings you the top 50 stupidest things said by people of both the major political stripes.  Actually, we’re just bringing you the top 10 from each; you’ll have to click the links for the full stupidity.RestOfNewsletter
