Lapel Pin for Ignorant Politicians

{ link » Subject•Article}

"[Here's] a new patriotic [57-stars] lapel pin that anyone can wear with pride even, say, a Harvard-educated senator from Illinois who's been trying to make a point about opposing a war before it even started".

Yeah, sure, maybe it was just a slip of the so-called "eloquent" tongue. Any 5th grader knows there are only 50 States in the Union. Surely a Harvard-educated U.S. Senator who aspires to the Presidency would know that:

• the U.S. Senate comprises 100 Senators;
• there are 2 Senators per State; and,
• # of Senators ÷ # of Senators/State = 50 States.

Given any two of the above three produces the third. Which two are beyond Obama's comprehension?

If the sitting President had made such a slip, the late-night TV "comedian" hosts would have a field day with their cheap shots about his supposed ignorance. Assholes like Leno and Bill Maher have been making good money for years pandering to their moronic studio audiences, not to mention the morons on stage.

And if John McCain made a slip like that he would have forfeited the election to all the liberal fascists who are just salivating for some such "proof" that he is senile. But Mr. Smooth Talker, and his ignorant wife, they can say and do and associate with any and all manner of outrageousness with nary a peep from our politically correct society, because, you know, they're "urban".
