Top Ten Stupidest Things Uttered by Karl Pilkington, as curated by hcottam16

Stupidity, in and of itself, isn't upsetting. Stupid can be pretty damn funny, as evidenced by the entire media career of Karl Pilkington, a radio producer plucked from obscurity by comedians Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and now the star of the greatest selling podcasts, as well as television shows and books. But stupidity uttered by our politicians and pundits who shape the national dialog is maddening. And we're going to be subjected to a whole lot of stupid this morning. The Sunday shows' favorite guest, John McCain, is on yet again, this time to wax sincerely on North Korea. Cathy McMorris-Rogers regularly displays her lack of cognitive prowess, but she'll get another turn of 'Blame the Democrats'. And Timothy Geithner, a man who in equal parts is responsible for the economic near-collapse and its muted recovery, will get to push the same old policies. With all due respect to the Secretary of the Treasury, that's just stupid.
