He acknowledges he's not good at politics but he's not a dumbass at all?
He listens to his stupid wife to take the hand of the king position because of her reservations about staying but he's not a dumbass at all?
His pride has got him totally ed over every step of the way, and the principles and pride that he taught his children has almost completely ed them over and he's not a dumbass at all?
Admittedly, I'm only in the middle of book 3, but so far, I'm laughing over and over again at what happens to the Starks. They deserve it for being so god damned stupid.
Also on a side note, Sansa Stark is the most vacuous, creme de la creme stupid character ever given this much face time in a fantasy book I've ever experienced. Though I'm sure further down the series she will do something really amazing to vindicate herself.
Danny's parts in book 1 and 2 can honestly be completely completely skipped by anyone wishing to read these books fast. They're worthless. It's only in comparison to the boringness of Danny's chapters that Sansa's are entertaining.
Other than that it's been a cool series. The Starks are just this total joke of a great family that you are blown away by, wondering how they got where they got by being so utterly stupid.
