You can't teach stupid -- Part II

Whether the old guy or the young guy wins a seat in the Oval Office for the next four years, he should nominate Paul Lenz to fill the next vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Why him? Well, Lenz, a judge in Eau Claire County, Wis., recently presided over the trial of one Shane McQuillan, 22.

Shane, who comes from the shallow end of his family’s gene pool, was convicted of ramming his car into a closed gate at a waste water treatment plant.

Maybe he didn’t quite get the difference between “open gate” and “closed gate.”

And yes, he admitted that he had been drinking before the March incident. (Surprise!)

Anyway, Lenz could have sentenced McQuillan to a day in jail. But he offered him an alternative, which he accepted:

Spending a day outside the waste water treatment plant holding a sign that reads, “I was stupid.”

Like I said, Lenz has Supreme Court material written all over him.
