    They should put all the spies in the world in a really big bowl, and then each head of state could yank out a spy.

    And whatever country that spy belonged to, that's the country the head of state gets to sleep with

    And you contend that he doesn't know how many states comprise the Union?
    By your standards, then, since the correct answer is not 57, then "...I've been in (57/47) states so far, and....two more states, and I 'll have been in them all (59/49....

    You said this guy was "bright/intelligent/etc."

    It's numbers and it's people, MN, and people keep score of such things.

    I'd have more respect for him if he'd gotten 4 spies, the State recipe for borscht, and five nice beets to cook, but, noooooooooooo...

    You mean Obama gets to sleep with Russia, or Medvedev/Putin double-team America?

    They both sound icky, truth.

    Listen again.
    Except for misspeaking fifty instead of forty, he's absolutely correct.
    He says his staff vetoed the idea of visiting Alaska and Hawaii due to expense and has one state left to go.
    That brings the total to 50 (or 60, if he misspoke again).

    I realize this doesn't matter to you at all, since being a Republican means that Obama can do no right but it's worth pointing out to the less hidebound.

    As for the 10>4 spy trade.
    Let's see, we get four military/intelligence operatives and Russia gets 10 morons who could barely access the internet.
    Again, in the black/black world of the right, Obama can't win but the stupidity of such a simpleminded approach is typical and totally expected.

    Can't wait to hear what next burns your chaps, it's always good fun.

    These chaps don't burn.

    As to the other, I don't know about you, but I have never in my life made such an error - I here note the undeniable fact of my ex-wife's damage-path - and again, I remind you of your paeans to his intelligence.

    Good God, either of us eclipses him easily, even given your ideological dis-advantage.

    You've never been in his position either.

    Of course, it's telling that for the eight years of Bush's reign you never decried his obvious- and more frequent- displays of stupidity, but a two year old YouTube clip of an Obama slip still merits your attention.

    Why is that?

    Why is what?

    Why are you still talking about Bush?

    It's Barry who's in the barrel, not Bush.

    It's instructive to keep Bush/Cheney in focus because their venality and stupidity are the template for today's right wing.

    Capitalization and punctuation, my boy.

    You need to try harder to cover your stupidity, and you need a starting point, as well.

    I have given you one.
