In case you missed it, President Bush was a big winner at the 2004 World Stupidity Awards.
Bush was a dominating presence at the second edition of the awards presented at the Just for Laughs comedy festival. Host Lewis Black, whose biting satire is a highlight of TV’s The Daily Show, took pride in the recognition the United States received at the awards, saying: “we are the gold standard.”
My favorite, from the official website:
