Guess Bush isn't the only GOP candidate with an open mouth connected to an empty head.
McCain also told ABC News, in an interview setting up his speech Thursday to accept the GOP's presidential nomination, that his running mate is capable in foreign policy matters in part because of geography.
"Alaska is right next to Russia," McCain said. "She understands that. Look, Senator Obama's never visited south of our border. I mean, please."
Is he serious? She has more capability in foreign policy because Alaska is next to Russia? Because Obama has never been to Mexico? Are we grasping at straws here? Why are we only focusing on countries in our immediate vicinity?
Gah. Five articles quoting speakers at the GOP convention and they all look the same. Typical Republican "let's scare the crap out of everybody so they'll vote for us" mentality.
I said I was gonna do it, so here it goes. Do not read these while operating heavy machinery or while under the alcafluence of incohol.
"More and more of our imports come from overseas." (As opposed to outer space, I guess)
"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question." (I think this one pretty much speaks for itself)
"If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow." (Step away from the dogs, Mr. Bush...)
"We ought to make the pie higher." (Okay, who gave him alcohol before a speech?)
Governor Bush: I talked to my little brother, Jeb - I haven't told this to many people. But he's the governor of - I shouldn't call him my little brother - my brother Jeb, the great governor of Texas.
Jim Lehrer: Florida.
Governor Bush: Florida. The state of the Florida. (Wait, then who's the governor of the Texas? Oh, right...)
"I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them." (Sigh. Looks like we'll have to explain it again. Get out the sock puppets.)
"I can only speak to myself." (I bet that's entertaining.)
