Stupid stuff politicians have said

[Eddie Teach]

Too lazy to look through three pages-- has anyone mentioned Hank Johnson?  His Guam thing was a classic.  He tried to follow it up with his helium speech, but it wasn't quite as good.

And remember, he was elected in part due to Republican crossovers wanting to get rid of McKinney. 

[derspiess]

Well, shit-- he's still way more competent than McKinney

And the beat goes on....

At least he's honest about what's going on.

A North Carolina Republican official has been fired from the state party executive board following an appearance on The Daily Show in which he boasted about the implications of the widely-criticized voting law recently enacted by the GOP-heavy state legislature, but he refuses to apologize for his remarks.

"There's nothing I said that I would take back. So be it," state GOP executive committee member Don Yelton said in an interview with the Asheville Citizen-Times published on Thursday. "The activity going on across the state today proves what I said is true. The Democrats are jumping on it like flies after honey."

In the interview, which aired Wednesday night, Yelton tells Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi that the new voting law, which mandates voter identifications, the curtailing of early voting operations and does not allow college students to vote using their school ID, "is going to kick the Democrats in the butt." He also dismisses concerns that the law will particularly affect communities of color by saying, "If it hurts a bunch of lazy Blacks that want the government to give them everything, so be it."

For cdm- "I am in control here in the White House"

Don't think I didn't notice this.

Technically, he was right.  But nooooo, gotta drive it into the ground, don't we.  You're all haters.

[Admiral Yi]

Technically he wasn't even close.

[merithyn]

Well, it's what he believes is going on.

Nonsense.  He was the highest ranking administration official in the White House at the time.

Now, if he had said "Washington, DC", then he'd have been wrong.  But as far as the building was concerned, the General was in control of the situation.

True. Your ridiculous thread to attack Republicans continues. But let's just call it stupid stuff that politicians have said.

I'd be thrilled to add Democrats. Or Libertarians, or whoever else. Unfortunately, it's the Republicans who offer the most fodder for this thread at the moment. But don't worry. I've no doubt Biden will step it up soon.

That's true. Dems almost never say anything foolish. Yep, just a Republican thing.

Besides, why are you surprised? I called you out on this bullshit on the first page.

It is mind boggling. I thought Meri was generally honest and intelligent.

Note I should add that I still think Meri is intelligent, so...

I didn't realize that the thread was open to only non-Republicans, and you couldn't post whatever you wanted, too.

You sure know how to pick credible supporters.

If you can't find your own shit to post, then that's your problem, not mine, you snide little bitch.
