Two idiots.

Two people today made me weep for humanity.
First off, we have Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher. He announced his retirement from football this afternoon after signing a mostly symbolic contract with the Dallas Cowboys; the team he had his great years with.
So, what gets him into the idiot Hall of Fame? His statement to the press.
In it, he started off by saying that everything he had he owed to Jesus. Excuse me?
Gee, seems to me that maybe all the coaches he's had since Pop Warner, all the trainers he had, the doctors that helped him stay healthy, his offensive linemen who made the blocks that let him get outside, the other members of the offense who spread the defense out so he had lanes...
Nope. All Jesus. What, you didn't see him in Jerry Jones' weave?
Secondly, we have Ann Coulter.
You need more? Fine!
In an interview with CBC journalist Bob McKeown Ann claimed that Canada had supported the US in Vietnam, and had sent troops to fight there.
Read for yourself.
Wonder if she'll apologize for this one?
