Another Candidate For Enhanced Geography Training

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee on North and South Vietnam



You might recall the Wisconsin political "leader" who "misspoke" about where Arizona is.

Really, you could not make this stuff up.

Dodos seem not to be as extinct as we thought.

Time for a National Geography Lesson


I'll take states that border on Mexico for $1000, Alex. Let's see, that's Texas, its neighbor New Mexico, California and, oh, what's that other one? Let's try Arizona, which would be right unless you are a county supervisor from Wisconsin, like Ms. Peggy West who, speaking about Arizona's immigration challenges, said:
If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this, saying that they had a major issue with, you know, undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this.

But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border ...
Nice going, Ms. West. You just won an EagleSpeak Dodo Award.What? You "misspoke?" Bwahahahahah!
The red arrow on the map points to Arizona. The red line sorta follows the U.S.-Mexico border.

Speaking of idiocy:

Yep, this self-styled "activist" compares federal law enforcement agents to the Ku Klux Klan. So witty in her preferred political circles where Mao, Stalin and "Che" are heroes to these "useful idiots." I suppose she just didn't have time to mention the Coast Guard, which also turns back would-be immigrants. Moron.

We have a Winner: EagleSpeak Dodo Award to Harry Reid: "Only 36,000 Lost Their Jobs Today"

Yes, it's awards season (Academy and other) and so I have brought back the EagleSpeak Dodo Award for this particularly idiotic, almost Bidenesque bit of political fail from the undistinguished senator from Nevada: YouTube - Harry Reid: Only 36,000 Lost Their Jobs Today



Let us hope he will soon be joining those "good news" ranks.

Idiot.

Not his first time, either.

Obama wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize - Nobel Committee Gets Dodo Award


Obama wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

In a related story, the Nobel Committee has just been awarded the EagleSpeak Dodo Award for Public Stupidity.

The last winner of the Dodo was then Candidate Obama for his comments suggesting that running his campaign gave him executive experience exceeding that of a governor of a state.

Dodo Award: Obama: "I Have More Executive Experience Than Palin"


Obama: I Have More Executive Experience Than Palin:
Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years,” Obama said.


I like the response from the GOP:
John McCain’s spokesman called the suggestion “laughable.”

“For Barack Obama to argue that he’s experienced enough to be president because he’s running for president is desperate circular logic and its laughable. It is a testament to Barack Obama’s inexperience and failing qualifications that he would stoop to passing off his candidacy as comparable to Governor Sarah Palin’s executive experience managing a budget of over $10 billion and more than 24,000 employees,” said spokesman Tucker Bounds.
The senator from Illinois has earned an EagleSpeak Dodo Award.

The fossil fuel known as natural gas and a real dodo

Unlike some people, you might like to know more about natual gas.

And, if you wonder why this might be of interest, see here, where the Speaker of the House demonstrates why she deserves yet another EagleSpeak Dodo Award.


Idiot.
