He came out looking dumber than Tommy Tuberville, at least in this case. And Tommy is dumber than a bag of hammers.

I did have to laugh that Foghorn Leghorn was right behind him, helping to hold up their little visual aid. That guy is actually not a blithering idiot [1] , but loves to adopt the accent of one and invent all kinds of crazy folksy sayings that no one has ever said. Foghorn is not stupid at all, but loooooves to come off like a yokel. Tommy and this guy Schmitt seem to be the real deal when it comes to idiocy.

[1] Kennedy went to Oxford and he was a fucking Rhodes scholar. I somehow doubt he was meandering around campus talking like the dumbest extra on Hee Haw with the most absurdly stereotypical accent. But I guess sounding like a smartypants isn't going to play well with the people that are voting R.

Kennedy earned the highest honors at Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes scholar, and he was executive editor of the Virginia Law Review at the not-too-shabby University of Virginia law school.

Tommy Tuberville is so dumb that he’s one of only two people medically exempt in the league for concussion protocol.

The other being Herschel Walker.
