Yes, sometimes ( go figure 😀 ) celebs and politicians don’t think before they speak and the stupidest things come flying out of their mouths. Not that we all don’t suffer from the same condition once in awhile, but we don’t have the media following us around all the time recording all the stupid things we say. You would think that someone who is in the media spotlight would be more careful, but lucky for us they’re not. 😀
And there’s really no sense in putting these in some order of more stupid, because they’re all equally stupid, there isn’t one more stupid than another. So this isn’t going to be a countdown from the least stupid to the most stupid.
So without further ado, and in no particular order of stupidity:
