And the coveted "Dumber than a Box of Rocks Award" goes to...

Texas (where else?) Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who made the most dumbass remark of the day yesterday:

...we are turning our back on the middle-class and poor people in this country who depend on the minimum wage and death-tax relief.”

The proposed estate tax cut would exempt the first five million dollars of an estate from taxation. Who knew the poor had that kind of money?
