fjm1061, "stupid" knows no political party! There are plenty of "stupid" in both Demos or Repus, conservatives or liberals. This article is about an "idiot" disregarding barricades and too "stupid" to think. Why do you have to bring politics into this? If you want to comment, comment on this incident and don't bring in your political beliefs. Most people don't want to read them..... Have a nice day!

"In case you still wonder why Obama's in the White House. Multiply these 2 morons by millions." Conservatives never miss an opportunity to turn everything into a political statement. But then again, if my party had nothing to offer I guess I would do the same. I'm an independent but with conservatives constantly using every opportunity to bash Obama, they are not doing a good job of convincing me to vote Republican.

REALLY? I wonder at what point the fact that a BARRIER to a heavily flooded roadway signaled it was SAFE for her to blatantly go around the barrier. I do not feel sorry for this woman.

With all the intelligent doctors and scientists, why can't they find the cure for "STUPID"? The world would be a better place if they could cure stupid people!
