Well, it must have been a hard choice, but the ABC reports that the winner of the stupidest statement of the year (Foot In Mouth) award goes to… Donald Rumsfeld. Closely followed by Arnie's view of gay marriage. Check it out:

Rumsfeld wins 'Foot in Mouth' award
A bizarre comment by US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on the hunt for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction has been awarded the "Foot in Mouth" prize by Britain's Plain English Campaign.
Mr Rumsfeld, renowned for his uncompromising tough talking, received the prize for the most baffling comment by a public figure.
"Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know," Rumsfeld told a press briefing.
"We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
"But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."
John Lister, spokesman for the campaign which strives to have public information delivered in clear, straightforward English, said: "We think we know what he means. But we don't know if we really know."
Mr Rumsfeld, whose boss US President George W Bush is often singled out by language critics for his sometimes unusual use of English, took the booby prize ahead of a bizarre effort from actor-turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman," was the odd statement from the new California Governor.
Previous holders of the award include US actress Alicia Silverstone and Britain's Chancellor Gordon Brown.
Last year's winner was actor Richard Gere.

Take this classic convo with Juvenile of the Hot Boys/ Cash Money Millionaires click yassing up his rep as a hardcore pipe-hitting nicka!
"Juve: I’m going to stay out of trouble, Juve don’t get convicted for nothing. All the promotion they put on TV, I jumped a bootlegger and stuff like that, you got to understand that don’t hurt me. Not to be the most ignorant person in the world, [b] but some of my fans want to know if you’ll bust a motherfucker in the head. [/b]
AllHipHop.com: Is it hard to maintain that rep?
J: I’m not trying to maintain anything; [b]I’m a people person.[/b]"
Tell it like it is homes! :weirdo:

Or this one to the Permanent Trainee "DJs" @ Groooove FM, who seem to still be on the induction course - live on air for the past 8 months!
Now, Im no raggae-Marley expert, but shit me!….
When asking for entries in a competition to Name Their Shithouse Show, the "hosts" were stumped when confronted by the entry, "Dub and Dubber"….
Their response, excuding magnificent ignorance, "I don't get it"….

I hereby declare this thread is now, by default, turning into a Classic Quotes section…
I'm not sure how I should feel when a generic "blink182-clone" band I hate write off an even worse generic "strokes-clone" band - even if they are "locals"…..
Here are Steve32 (?cock?) from Sum-41's [url=http://www.metal-sludge.com/20QuestionsStevo32.htm]comments [/url]
[i]"16. Who's the most overrated band today and why?
Jet. Because their song is a garbage reproduction of classic rock and roll cliches. Is there any limit to crappy bands that just seem to spring up from the bins of vintage clothing stores?" [/i]
Amen! I mean, you suck!
As someone else pointed out to me re:Jet (Matty HiFidelity Milner?), there's something tragically ironic about having a second single entitled "Roll Over DJ", which espouses playing rock music over pop/DJ music, which is becoming generic and stale - in the face of their first song "Be My Girl" being [b] the most generic and stale [/b] "rock" track heard since the Goodies remix of "Wild Thing"
(apologies to The Goodies)

New one:
RAPPER BUSTA RHYMES had an embarrassing foot-in-mouth moment when he slated a member of his audience for not standing up — unaware the fan was in a wheelchair.
Busta told a crowd in Copenhagen on Wednesday night: “I didn’t come from the other end of the world to see people sit on their ass. Everybody get up.”
He then picked on one man for the rest of the show — not noticing he was disabled.
A spokesman for his label BMG said last night: “Busta is very sorry for any offence and did not know the man was disabled.”
