The United States of Heinz
57 flavors, baby!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say George "I'm a Dummy" Bush never thought we had 57 states. There really is no excuse.
Tip to Dean Barnett who writes:
This faux pas is beyond weird; I know the guy is tired, but “How many states are there in America?” is the kind of question they ask you at the hospital after you've had a seizure to see if your brain is still working. I speak from personal experience on this matter, by the way. When I had a random seizure in 1996, the guy at the emergency room asked me how many states there were and then who was president. I responded with a ten minute rant on Whitewater - he urgently ordered up more tests.Dem2008 Primary Posted by AlexC at May 10, 2008 12:13 AM
The youngest candidate in the race. You're right, if W said that, it would be a book title; if Senator McCain said it, it would be conclusive proof that he was too old.

Posted by: jk at May 10, 2008 2:49 PMWhen clicking on "The Empire Strikes Barack" YouTube video resulted in a 'We're sorry, this video is no longer available' message I thought it was just a flaky source. When I got the same thing clicking on this Obama video I wondered if there are any less than flattering Obama videos left in the world!
