Former U.S. Air Force crypto-linguist Reality Leigh Winner, who became an NSA contractor, having taken on employment with a company that does much business with the spy agency, wins the title hands down.
And such a name for a person who appears not to be living in the real world, if her foibles in first downloading and then leaking classified intelligence to the online news outlet The Intercept are true.
Ms. Reality, who held a Top Secret (with Sensitive Compartmented Information) security clearance, was of course nabbed by the FBI shortly after her act (apparently, and foolishly, leaving behind a trail which even a blind squirrel could find) and tossed in clink until the entire mess could be sorted out.
While cooling her heels -- in contemplation of a star turn in the series "Orange is the New Black"? -- she then was caught coaching family members via jailhouse phone calls. Such calls are always monitored, by the way.
During the calls, government listeners noted that Ms. Winner -- giving the lie to her surname -- directed those family members, including her sister and her mother, to portray the now-jailed super-spy as some sort of scared, doe-eyed neophyte who didn't understand the nature of her actions and who, by gosh, was just trying to do the right thing (whatever that is).
Other utterances included that she intended to go before the judge and play the "white, pretty, and cute card" in order to get out of jail free. I'll leave the judgment on Ms. Winner's beauty, or lack thereof, to others, but I think it's safe to say that she is probably the dumbest entity in this sad tale (The Intercept, whose own foolishness in seeking to verify the document, by going to the NSA with it, runs a close second).
Prosecutors said in recorded jailhouse calls, she told her mother how to play her side of the story in the media -- as someone who was scared she'd disappear from an interrogation room in her Augusta home after Saturday's raid.
...
Prosecutors said a phone call to her sister expressed Winner's confidence in how to play the court during her bond hearing.
"I'm pretty, white and cute," she allegedly told her sister. Prosecutors said Winner told her sister she would braid her hair and cry in court.

There's a classic observation here:
When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It is difficult only for the others. It is the same when you are Stupid. ;-)
"Politics is just show business for ugly people."
