Never Ask Alison Lundergan Grimes for Defense Advice
National Review ^ | 7/30/2014 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 08/03/2014 12:38:50 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Wow. “The Iron Dome has been a big reason why Israel has been able to withstand the terrorists that have tried to tunnel their way in.” — Alison Lundergan Grimes, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, Kentucky.

The “Iron Dome” is an anti-missile air-defense system that shoots down incoming rockets, similar to the Patriot-missile batteries that the U.S. used in the Persian Gulf War.

It does not work underground.

That’s not going to do Grimes any favors. This little snippet shows she’s massively unprepared for the job.

Did you see Rand Paul’s poem?

“There once was a woman from Kentucky,
who thought in politics she’d be lucky,
So she flew to L.A. for a Hollywood bash.
She came home in a flash with buckets of cash.
To liberals, she whispers: coal makes you sick.
In Kentucky, she claims coal makes us tick.
To the liberals, she sells her soul – the same ones who hate Kentucky coal.
One thing we know is true, one thing we know is guaranteed,
she’d cast her first vote for Harry Reid.
Grimes’ real pledge is to Obama; her first vote is to Reid;
as for Kentucky, if that happens, it’s too bad indeed.”

One of the posters on Hot Air wrote his own poem in reply:

There was an old turtle named Mitch
He was the chamber of commerce’s B1tch
And then there was Rand, an elf of a man
Who chose the wrong Rino to pitch
If turtle get’s lucky, he’ll win Kentucky
But’s the elf’s aspirations
To lead this great nation
Are gonna wind up in the ditch

Of course, it’s a big iron dome that fits so close to the ground that when the terrorists try to climb out of their tunnels on the Israeli side, the Iron Dome has their exit holes blocked.

Maybe she should hook up with Sheila Jackson Lee and try out their ideas on another planet.

Rockets fly in tunnels?

Well, she is running against Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell this November.

Could be a pretty tight race...

Arthur Kent? You can read up on his Wikipedia entry here.

Based on this (sued NBC and won, ran as a Canadian center-right politician), he would seem to - probably - be a good guy.

Furious to read Arthur Kent’s Wikipedia entry. Nothing about his intrepid reporting during another Israeli conflict and he was fired from NBC! Sued and won, hee-hee-hee.

I had forgotten he was Canadian.

She maybe the best looking Dem candidate ever - and she still a 6 or 7 (withhold final judgment until a BMI evaluation can be conducted)

I think that she initially asked if the Iron Dome came with it’s own ironing board...
