Jimmy Hoffa Called My Mom A Bitch: Profiles in Stupidity

by Jason Vines

Overview

The book is broken up into various chapters of stupidity: Stupid Democrats, Stupid Republicans, Stupid Atheists, Stupid Christians, Stupid Criminals, Stupid Policies, Stupid People and so on.
The 'Stupid Criminals' chapter contains one of my favorite columns that appeared on the Detroit News' political website. The June 29, 2010 column is titled 'Globe Al Warming Gets Rubbed the Wrong Way,' and it takes on allegations that the former VP got inappropriately horny with female masseuse at a Portland, Oregon hotel. That column also continues the sick, yet hilarious saga of Otis 'Masturgate' Mathis, the illiterate (no kidding), former head of Detroit Public Schools who was forced out after he admittedly fondled himself in front of numerous female superintendents.
No, I am not making this up. I coined the scandal 'Masturgate' and it soon became the rage in Detroit media and made my column one of the most popular on the site.
