And funny to see everyone's different responses.

Matthew,

You're right, the responses can be right entertaining.

dumber and dumber and dumber

they are actually all dumber than each other, which is against the laws of physics, but that is truly how dumb they are, really really dumb, liberal dumb, the dumbest you can get

trick question...!!!

aw, come on now... I can tell a trick question when I see one. These three make Larry, Curly, and Moe look like the top three from M.I.T. for goodness sakes. Who's the smartest? Anyone who doesn't listen to these mouth breathers, that's who.

Matthew,

If there was ever a perfect spot for the NOTA option, this is it.

I voted for Dan, as he was able to fool far more people for a very long time. Far longer than either Rosie and the hot dog boy combined.

Another NB poll

Loudly cries-out for a "NOTA" choice...Nothin' new to see here, folks, move along! :)

NOTA

Would be at 100% so there would be no fun in that.

Plus, it would be ungrammatical as well since "none" can not be smarter since it implies no one.

Well then, Matt. How about

Well then, Matt. How about a fourth option, like a rock or a donkey or something?

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

This is the internet

So grammar doesn't really apply, especially for a poll. And at least one of us would find a 100% NOTA vote (or any NOTA vote over 50%+1 in any poll, actually!) very amusing. Oh well, I'll just not-vote.

Here's an idea for a future NB poll question: 'Do you think a None Of The Above choice in all "real" elections would help US voter turnout, even if results occasionally made fools out of politicians of all parties?'

Poll: Again we have no

Poll: Again we have no bench mark from which to measure. They are all dummer than a box of rocks. Carrot sticks make more sense, beans make almost as much gas and oil fires make as much hot air. This is a poll that cries for a NOTA option. Or at least a bench mark from where to start.

Dan rather is a teleprompt

Dan rather is a teleprompt reader at best, no intelligence

Rosie is a comedian, which requires some smarts, but is a major kool aid drinker, so has minimal intelligence.

Michael Moore is a liar and a rat, which requires a great deal of intelligence. Logic isn't his strong point, but of the three he is the more intelligence one.

 Rather is smarter than

 Rather is smarter than Moore who's smarter than Rosie who's smarter than Rather.....

Celebrity Jeopardy

This reminds me of Saturday Night Live's funny skits (yes it used to have parts which were funny), Celebrity Jeopardy.  Maybe we could lock the three in a room and see who would come out alive.  It would be a good fight, but after Dan Rather had been eaten the other two would have to battle it out.  (This is all hypothetical, since it is, and always has been my opinion that Michael Moore and Rosie the Hutt are the same person.)

Had to go with

Had to go with Michael Moore, because he's smart enough to twist the facts. the other two twist the facts but aren't smart enough to know when they're doing it.

It's a default answer.

whatever

I also don't get the point of this poll but to add my 2cents worth,

Rosie is warped and dumb as a rock

Dan is not much better but he at least is very good at reading a script

Michael is smart but he is also a devious, self-promoting, liar that is all about Michael Moore

Rosie is smart enough to know which side her bread is buttered on.  She is a far out left loon but she knows how to pander to an audiance when she needs the money.  I voted for her on teh basis of here ability to make the money and squeeze it from the rubes out there.  Willing rubes I might add.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

If capitalism is the measure...

Then shouldn't you have voted for MM?  He, at least, is running his own business (lying for fun and profit)  RO, and DR are employees of someone else.

Not sure which one of those

Not sure which one of those clowns is smarter, but I know one who could possibly be dumber than them all.

Bush requires phonetic spelling for his speeches?  haha.  How embarassing.  Our president can't even pronounce the name of the new leader of France?  haha.

Seriously this is unbelievable to me.  Wow. 

When asked if Bush has trouble pronouncing country names, Perino deflected the question by claiming it was offensive. 

And it is offensive that the leader of America is such an intellectual joke. 

If this was Clinton before giving a speech at some lib college you guys would be all over it.  Unfortunately Clinton knows how to read. 

Enjoy, oh enjoy.

Go ahead BT,

I don't think the results would be all that surprising.

Thank god my self-esteem isn't egg shell thin. 

So go ahead vote away.  We'll see what strangers who only know me as an orange name on a screen think. 

B/C you know, judging complete strangers isn't weird or anything.

Not that Little Leon doesn't

constantly judge complete strangers himself, BT...arguably more than anyone on this site...  ;^>

Leon, the orange name

You'd win hands down Leon, just look how smart an orange is ... Libtard

Leon Problem?

So you have no problem correctly pronoucing other countrys or cities in other countrys name?Other countrys maybe offended by it being misprounuced so useing phonetic spelling is helpful.What is wrong with that?So has Bill learn what perjury means?Or does he still believe it is about haveing sex?

}}---> Leon is so smart

I'll bet he could give us the present singular tense of the verb "to be".

Maybe he could educate his god as to the definition.

I double dog dare you, Leon the Orange

I challenge you, oh wise Leon the Orange, to tell me how to pronounce Rjukan and then tell me everything you know about it...

WITHOUT googling it or looking it up.  See how smart YOU are.

I'm sorry ... I can't seem to find the : "None Of The Combined Brains Above On A Good Day After Extensive Drug Treatment" ... choice to check.

Has to be Rather

This honestly was a tough question as Rather's ego degrades his intelligence factor by 30 points to around 80..........but he still has played with international murderers in the Rockefeller and Rothschild cartels for 45 years and actually survived where others like J. Edgar Hoover "were found dead".

Moore is a snake oil salesdude in knowing to pick on targets too big like a tick on a cape buffalo testicle sack and Rosie just lezbo'd herself into positions of power by being like Ellen positioned. That does not account for intelligence.....simple psychopathy.

So Kenneth wins in his pick.

This query is a "Kobayashi

This query is a "Kobayashi Maru." There is no correct answer.

If the "smarter" means does the least damage (socially, politically, physically, environmentally, etc.) then it is Dan Rather.

I suppose that Rather is the more educated (in theory) since he is the only one out of the three that has more than a high school education (if memory serves).

I voted hesitatingly for Michael Moore.

Both Dan Blather and Roasty McDonalds had things (respect, a good job) and lost them. Michael has had his ups and downs, but today is relatively close to where he was years ago, while the others plummeted and are unlikely to reascend.

I do not know if that makes him smarter, but at least he is not showing increasing stupidity.

As much as I'd like to slam Dan....

At least he knows that a steady diet of doughnuts and kool-aid isn't good for him.

(if one can be forgiven for using the word 'diet' in conjuction with Rosie O'Doughnut and Michael Moorbidly-obese)

It Has to be Moore

Guys, it has to be Moore. He is tied for least attractive of the three. He is the least talented. He puts in the least effort. He is increadibly wealthy. You have to be smart to pull that con off.

What's in a name.

I'd Rather Rosie have Moore Michael than Dan O'Donnell.

couldn't vote...it would

couldn't vote...it would imply that any one of them is smart at all.

v

it is all relative

I actually chose Mikey. I cannot stand him, but he has found his niche. He has been successful by denouncing the very things that brings him success.

[I am not sure if he really believes his crap or just is taking advantage of liberals. If he believed it, why hasn't he moved to Canada or Cuba?]

By 'smart', you mean,

By 'smart', you mean, 'intelligent'?  I don't agree that they are interchangeable by definition.  Either way, those words can't be attached to any of those three gobshites.  All odious, all unAmerican; all suffering from illusions of grandeur, though.
