It's just political ammunition and the opposing side will use it for all it's worth. That's the nature of politics. |
Anybody else heard that amusing campaign flier suggesting that incest will reign should Jefferson become president? Yeah, go figure.

I still think

"The other day the President said, I know you've had
some rough times, and I want to do something that will show the nation
what faith that I have in you, in your maturity and sense of
responsibility. He paused, then said, would you like a puppy?"

Maybe some of the bigger states(landmass wise) need to be cut up to make smaller more manageable states. That could have been his thinking or......he could have been counting the territories that are allowed to vote in our great democratic process.

Oh God, I love the ones where he realizes he messed up, but only makes it worse as he tries to fix it. I swear I think of Michael Scott from The Office whenever someone mentions Quayle.

The first time I ever saw that one I nearly peed myself laughing. Honestly, I think Bush Sr. picked him because he knew he'd never be killed if Quayle was the one who'd take his place.

Quayle has a whole slew of stupid to rest his water-filled head on, and I think the posts in here reflect that the vast majority saw it as an innocent slip-up that won't be relevant- well, ever really but certainly not after a few weeks' time.

Actually, my favorite is the 'losing of one's mind' quote. I thought that was a whole hell of a lot funnier than the potatoe. E

How has it gone off the mark? It asked if Obama's misstatement would haunt him like Quayle's potatoe, but Quayle has a whole slew of stupid to rest his water-filled head on, and I think the posts in here reflect that the vast majority saw it as an innocent slip-up that won't be relevant- well, ever really but certainly not after a few weeks' time. And really, if, come general election time, the best the Republicans can hit him with is "you said 57 instead of 47," then they aren't the expert muckrakers a lot of us give them credit for.
EDIT: And no claimed you were a McCain supporter (I didn't even think it), but Stonie and I just tried to offer perspective. On the one hand, you have a guy who said something stupid to be sure, but a one time mistake. On the other, you have a man already looking at a new country for us to possibly invade based on his false conceptions about Al-Qaeda and who has made multiple mix-ups between the two ever-warring sects of Islam.

OK, fair enough. I just don't want this to get ugly is all. I'm treading on sensitive territory here and just being cautious. I do think there is a media bias and I've seen it for many years. That's my opinion and nobody's going to change it. Carry on.
