How Dumb Can the GOP Get?

As the various cases involving P01135809 and his gang of stooges moves towards open court, I still can’t get over how incredibly dumb these people seem to be. Someone in Hollywood has to be thinking about making a comic movie out of the behavior of this bunch, and if you want to see an earlier cinematic version of this kind of stupidity, I recommend you go out and buy a copy of the movie, Big Deal on Madonna Street, which was filmed and released in Italy in 1958.

The movie is about four what Grandpa would call ‘shlemiels’ (read: hapless idiots) who decide to rob a pawn shop by breaking through from an unoccupied apartment next door. Now none of these four jerkoffs (including Marcello Mastroianni in his first starring role) has ever committed a crime beyond petty theft, but they know ‘for a fact’ that they’ll pull this one off.

Of course, once they break into the vacant apartment, everything starts to go wrong. And being Italian, pf course, they have to take a break at some point, sit down, drink some wine, and eat whatever pasta and other food was left behind by the apartment’s residents who have gone away to the beach.

One thing leads to another, the caper ends when they blow up the stove and then scatter to the four winds. The flic ends with the cops trying to figure out who would break into an apartment just to have lunch.
