History Comes Alive!
The McCain campaign hits a soft pitch out of the park.
The other nine “Dumbest Members of Congress” on Radar’s 2006 list: Jim Bunning, Patrick Kennedy, Conrad Burns, Cynthia McKinney, Jean Schmidt, Barbara Boxer, James Inhofe, Donald Young, and Kitty Harris.

“Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! ”
We know who Bluto was in real life.
And John McCain knows… he voted for war on Nazi Germany, just after dropping by the old folks home with some flowers for his mother.
@Serolf Divad: Didn’t he also vote to declare war on the Kaiser’s Germany or have I confused him with Robert Byrd?
@Dave H: According to Glenn Beck, That Damn Socialist waged war on the Kaiser’s Germany. Clearly we’ve been rooting for the wrong side all these years.
Obama is sending 1200 National Guard troops to the border.
@ManchuCandidate:
who is this Pearl Harbor and why would the bomb her?
@Capt Howdy: 80’s rockabilly singer known for her remake of Wanda Jackson’s “Fujiyama Mama”.
@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Would be ironic if my buddy from Mexico now serving in the National Guard had to go.
@nojo: That Teddy Roosevelt had the right idea fightin’ them Mexicans over there on San Juan Hill before we had to eat their fajitas here.
Fun Fact: George Patton was part of an expeditionary force into Mexico looking for Pancho Villa after a raid on Columbus, New Mexico around 1912. Also, I read John Reed’s “Insurgent Mexico” under a palm frond shelter on the beach in Tulum smoking a cigar on my honeymoon 15 years ago this July.
@Serolf Divad & @Dave H: In those times, gentlemen settled their differences in a civilized way–the chariot race!
