D'oh! I just read baka was a noun and didn't really think about it being an adjective too. Sorry. – Robb Apr 07 '16 at 22:44

For the etymology of both : Are な and だ both copula verbs?
In modern japanese, な is the modifying form of the copula and だ is its conclusive form.
So yeah, as Ringil said, it just means that バカ modifies こと : "a stupid thing".
