Reading about Maxime Bernier some phrases were used by "colleagues" to describe him.
He was variously known as:
"The empty suit..."
or the one I liked, gotta be an Alberta shot:
"All hat, no cattle..."

Reminds me of others such as:
"A few sandwiches shy of a picnic..."
"Elevator doesn't quite go to the top floor..."
"A brick shy of a full load..."

Others?

From an episode of M*A*S*H

"He's got the IQ of a houseplant"

 

[RTRD]

You don't have the sense...

...that God gave fish.

You're so stupid I feel dumber just listening to you.

Sweetie, you're worse than ugly. Ugly can be fixed with liquor. You are intimidating. A woman should NEVER be intimidating.

I not saying you're stupid....I just saying you really appear to be.


I've used each of this at some point in my life.

Lady Aster to Winston Churchill
"Sir, if you were my husband I would put poison in your tea!"
Churchill's reply;
"Madam, if I was your husband, I would drink it."

Another Churchill put down;

George Bernard Shaw in a note to Churchill;
"Here are two tickets to the opening night of my new play. Bring a friend if you have one."
Churchill wrote back;
"Sorry, can't make it opening night but I will come the second night, if you have one."

an oldie:

You had an idea once, but it died of lonliness......

You couldn't win a debate with a tree......

You're so dumb you couldn't find your ass with both hands and a flashlight

and the ever popular eddie murphy put down:

Yo mamma's got a wooden leg with a kickstand!
