Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt Girliani hammered a few weeks ago for a gaff on milk prices?
RATS are scum. He was repeating KS RAT governor Sebelius’ claim that people died because the National Guard’s equipment is in Iraq, which is an outright lie.

Bush must be hiding them! sarc.
I feel much better now.
Good post!
Oh why oh why couldn`t he have said something like “10 gabillion”? Immediate career destroyer.
Didnt they teach you how to count at harvard law school, osama obama?
Get your numbers straight Osumba Obumba, not very smart for a presidential hopeful.
Today I made an omelette for breakfast. I had to crack a few hundred eggs to do it, but they only cost me a billion dollars, so it seemed a just payoff for the geologic epoch it would otherwise have taken me to cook muffins.

Got news for you Barak....you STILL won’t carry Kansas.

This has been a DNC/MSM hyperbole talking point for over 15 years now.
Later in the article he said to give him a break b/c he’s tired. If he’s tired now and flubs up like this ...
