Well, there's the type who is idiotic in what he does, the type idiotic in what he says (or his inability to speak in English), and the type who encompasses all realms of idiocy.

In his 1857 inaugural speech, James Buchanan said that slavery was "of little practical importance." After all, he noted, the Supreme Court was about to settle the matter -- which it did two days later, with the Dred Scott decision. Now that's idiocy of the first rank.

Of course, Sarah Palin doesn't know what the Dred Scott decision was, and she probably can't tell Pat Buchanan and James Buchanan apart.
