Rosie is starting to look real good about now

I don't like to call people stupid, but sheesh . . .

During a discussion about the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341 B.C.–270 B.C.), the following debate popped up among a lot of cross chatter:

Whoopi: Keep in mind probably when he was around there was no Jesus going on.
Sherri: No, they had Christians back then.
[Cross talk]
Sherri: They had Christians, they threw them to the lions.
[Cross talk]
Whoopi: I think this might predate that.
Joy: They believed in polytheism.
Sherri: I don't think anything predated Christians.
Joy: No, the ancient Greeks were earlier. It went Greeks, Romans, then Christians.
Sherri: Jesus came first before them.
Whoopi: [Gently, bless her] Not on paper.

Now admittedly, you don't watch The View for intelligent discourse, but COAC! How does someone this ignorant even watch TV, let alone appear on it? [Rhetorical question]

The old saying, "better to remain quiet and have people think you're stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt" comes to mind. But you have to admit that ignorance of that intensity is pretty impressive. Perfection is difficult in any endeavor. We will probably never meet anyone that dumb. I mean, why just be a little dumb when you can go all the way to complete idiocy?
