The comments are certainly ignorant and demonstrate he has the brains of a sheep (no disrespect intended. We know many sheep dogs, and many sheep. Most sheep we know are just meek and need something to flock to), but hardly novel. Remember please, that this is the state of ILL, and in the last year, there has been no shortage of dumb utterances.
For example, here are some from ILL alone in just the past year that you may remember:
“There's no secret clout list.” -B. Joseph White lying about the admissions scandal that, as the Tribune so poetically put it,"sunk his presidency." (The skunk's claim was later discredited after emails of his own lobbying for Tony Rezko's family members surfaced)
”All admissions... should be based on merit .” -White again. Anyone who was familiar with his thoughts and actions regarding his work during and after at the University of Michigan can spot this fib easily.
“It's very confusing to the University and the community."-Renee Romano insulting the intelligence of the average citizen of ILL,after being caught attempting to limit free speech of those who support retired Chief Illiniwek.
-Students aren’t qualified -Jarred Hall equally capricious of students (he himself is one, by the way...) who dared think critically of the University after the DI posted a list of faculty and employee salaries.
“You never asked” -Roland Burris explaining why he committed perjury during his testimony about the sale of his senate seat.
“I don't that's a productive use of my time - Dick Durbin explaining why he would not meet with his own constituents.
And here are some other winners:
"The system worked." -Janet Napalitano when the only reason people were not killed by the Christmas Day bomber was his hands were in his underpants.
"Baby Killer!"- Rep. Randy Neugebauer to Michigan Representative Bart Stupak.
"I don't worry about the Constitution on this."- Phil Hare on the Constitution's limits of congressional power. (Hare also pulled a DI and could not tell the difference between the Declaration of Independence)
“...acted stupidly- Barack Obama's description of a police officer in Cambridge responded to a burglary report.
And of course
"I don't think he is American, personally.“ -Jerry Schweighart
Schweightt's claim was ignorant and unnecessary. But it was hardly the only one.
