what she said.
Tom DeLay is dumber than a box of rocks and meaner than an acre of rattlesnakes.

MR:

Countless ions ago, when a spark of static electricity interacted with the primordial ooze, prompting a chemical reaction and creating perhaps just a single molecule of the enzyme which is the precursor of life itself on this planet, that static electricity had no understanding of the mammoth eventual implications of that original seemingly-small action.

Similarly, when a butterfly gently flutters his wings on the West coast beach of Africa in just the right way, creating the immeasurably slight breeze which wafts into the upper level low pressure system, and fueled by the summer heat eventually builds to a massive killer hurricane, the butterfly has no way to know the colossal forces it brought to bear by an unnoticed and seemingly-insignificant event.

Okay, I went ahead and voted for stupid because he can't figure out whether he's insane or stupid. Limiting his options to those two choices is neither smart nor accurate.

Have I over thunk this?

Good.

MR, yeah me too, but that wasn't among his choices. Oh wait, did you mean specific to him, or was that just a general preference statement? :)

I'd prefer "evil."

As with too many internet polls, yours is flawed: You don't offer the choice of "both."
