The Dumbest Politician in America

I nominate Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley.  He is running for re-election against his predecessor, Republican Robert Ehrlich.  His initial campaign ads have been so stupid, and so ridiculous, that they were even denounced by the two local left-wing tabloids, the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun.  What did O’Malley do that caused even the Democratic Party lapdogs at the Baltimore Sun to object?  Well, he ran a radio ad for several weeks that had some ominous-sounding voice repeating the words “drill baby drill” over and over and over.  The message of the ad was this:

1. The law firm that Robert Ehrlich currently works for has an oil company (not BP) as a client.

2. British Petroleum (BP) is an oil company.

3.  Therefore, Robert Ehrlich is responsible for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Here’s the Baltimore Sun article explaining the withdrawal of what is arguably the stupidest political ad so far this century.
