I don't know who's more stupid.

The whole hullabaloo about the Democratic party's nominating process has come down to this fear that they might go to the Denver convention without a nominee in place--that the party would be weakened if the nation saw them figure this thing out. Me? I think Americans won't freak out or be put off by such a sight. They're mature enough to know that political parties are like that.

On the other hand, apparently there are a lot of Americans who thing that Barack Obama is a Muslim terrorist because his last name rhymes with a famous terrorist's first name and his middle name is an ancient Arabic name.

Maybe Americans are that stupid.
