A Question I bet Senator McCain Cannot Answer without help...
Question: Sen. McCain, who were the two Presidents Of The United States before Bill Clinton, and who were their Vice Presidents?

This is a question that should stump Sen. McCain, and show the American voters that without being prepped, he can't remember what he ate for dinner yesterday.

If he doesn't know the answer, I'd say it's game, set, match. And if he does remember, what did it hurt to ask?

Just my 2 cents.

1. I hate to say it...
...but I think about half of the adult American population couldn't answer that question, and they certainly won't care that McSame can't.

Gotta hit 'em with something relevant to their own self-centered lives.... taxes, imminent draft, etc.

3. "I think about half of the adult American population couldn't answer that question"
That may be true, but he is running for the job, and should be able to cite recent history.

10. Agreed.
My point is simply that about half our adult population won't care that he can't cite recent history because they're ignorant of it themselves.

11. Hopefully, the half that votes on a regular basis would know...
...and care. And the "Conservatives" would be steamed if he forgot about Ronnie, or who his VP was.

6. Ah polichick, you're too funny!
But really, McCain needs to be peppered with simple questions he is not prepped for.

That turns the story back on his limited abilities to think on his feet.

8. Think I'm getting punch drunk waiting for the big announcement...
Of course you're right ~ I love that clip of Lieberman whispering the right answer in his ear!

13. Perhaps you are blocking out bad memories--
I drink to forget the Reagan/Bush years, sometimes, myself. It was a sillier time, and rosy-cheeked old Gipper and Bush, Sr's forced laugh and their whole Iran/Contra,talking 'bout the "L-word", and "welfare queens" and denigrating people who couldn't get ahead because they saw a hand up as a hand out, and their crappy and extolled foreign policies legitimizing black ops and forming the feel-good memories for a generation of The Corner bloggers--the whole "WTF" '80's virtual omnipresence of GOP conniving and pseudo-patriotic wedge-issues prostituting still galls me to this very day. I was in my formative years--like--8-20, when Reagan and then Bush were president. I became politically aware about the time Reagan started losing his memory.

Fun times-not. Or--you're just wasted. I totally agree, either way, being in possession of a glass of bourbon and water which is in fact a refill, myself.
