    There’s an old saying in Tennessee - I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.

      That wasn’t even stupidity. He just realized partway through the sentence that he didn’t want there to be an audio clip of him saying “shame on me.” So he tried to change it and made it so much worse.

      If anything this makes him more relatable.

        I’m just gonna share another quote that I remember from the President of the war on terror.

        “Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.”

        In the competition for “politics’ dumbest fucking member” US will probably place several times.
