Another emboldened ignoramus

Is it just our imagination, or has there been an insurgence, so to speak, of ignoramuses in positions of power speaking their confused minds since Bush took (sic) office? The most recent example: Maryland Comptroller William Donald Schaefer, who said yesterday, "As far as I'm concerned, people who have AIDS are a danger. They bring it on themselves. A person who gives AIDS, who spreads AIDS, they're bad people. Everybody wants to be on the good side of everything. Well, I'm taking a stand."

Good for you, Mr. Schaefer...but could you please stand somewhere else? And whatever you do, don't exchange bodily fluids with ANYONE.
