I have just heard the dumbest question ever asked during a Republican debate...

Wolff Blizter asked of all four candidates: "Whose wife would make the best 1st Lady" :headshake

If Gingrich thought Romney's wife would be the best, is he supposed to say so ?
If Paul thought Santorum's wife would be better because she is younger, is he supposed to say so.

I could get a whole lot nastier about each of the women, but I leave those titillations to the Reader.


Wolff, go sit in the dunce-corner for the next two weeks :dunce:

.. and stay away from the set of jeapordy.

Gingrich's answer should have been: "Mine ... whichever one! and if she isn't, I'll upgrade. Again."

Romney: "Mine ... all of them!"

We've come a long way, baby. Not.

Now get in that kitchen and make me a pie!

The actual question was more like:
“Why would your wife make the best First Lady?”
Still pointless, IMO, but a lot different than "Whose..." YMMV

Is Laura Bush the only first lady who killed someone?

classicman 01-27-2012 02:28 PM

nah - The Clinton's got way more than that.

Spexxvet 01-27-2012 02:29 PM

No - their hands are clean. They just "made it happen". Laura was driving the car.

Oh, HALE no! I have it on good authority that Michelle used to be a terrorist, Hillary enjoyed slaying the occasional hobo, and Barbara played a mean round of Doom.

lol - kinda funny read on it here

The contractor doing the work on our house listens to conservative talk radio all day - you know, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity. On Thursday, I took off from work. There were a bunch of little, dark-complected, Spanish speaking guys doing the drywall work. After they left, I ask the contractor if he had made sure the workers were citizens. He snickered and said that he hadn't, and for their price, probably weren't. "But the owner must be, because he's insured and bonded".

Principles: It's what's convenient.

If the owner of the house had made a principled stand on that, would there be a few more employed citizens? :bolt:

I don't have principles. Have we met?;)
