Mayor To Town Folk, Council: You're Too Stupid To Work With »
Posted By BronxBomber 1 year ago in HumorYou can't call Bill Beck the mayor of "stupid" town anymore. The former St. Anthony, Idaho mayor resigned from his post at a city council meeting Wednesday night, but not before telling off the townspeople and his fellow city council members.
Councilman Bryan Fullmer told the Standard Journal that Beck walked into the start of the meeting and announced his surprise resignation to the audience. Fullmer said Beck then told the audience that he was tired of people who were too stupid to understand, and turned and told council members that they were too stupid to work with, too.
Fullmer said Beck continued by telling the town to go to hell. The audience responded to his resignation with applause, and the ex-mayor left the meeting shortly after.

Afterbeing told by the soon-to-be-ex-mayor Bill Beck that they were stupid, the town's citizens broke out in a cheerful applause. Guess they admired his flagrant honesty, or were just too dumb to realize that they have been insulted.

" The audience responded to his resignation with applause, and the ex-mayor left the meeting shortly after." What is dumb about that? The citizens responded appropriately by clapping letting the mayor know they were glad he was out of office? What is not to understand?

I think that the constituants and towns people are blindly stupid to vote a jerk & ***hole into office like this man. He thought be resigning & telling the board off would send them a message, well mr. X mayor, I think any job you get from here on in the United States will start with the mail room. Who'm do u think is the stupid one now!

It's possible he may have been dealing with a bunch of politically-correct,knee-jerk liberals wo really have no true understanding of how the real world works.Many get into office with high ideals,but they forget them and others,consumed and spoiled by the "power" of their office.In other words,they simply forget why they got there...to serve their constituents!! Maybe he was one of the rare breed who never forgets where he/she came from and actually tried to do the right thing no matter what..but a majority of unwise folks will always trump good judgement and simple common sense...who knows....

Chances are better than 50/50 that the town council and most of the residents are very stupid. They are merely products of the American education system. It's called the "dumbing down of America". Let's be proud of ourselves and call the Mayor names for just being honest. L-O-L
