I think it is his Southern vernacular coming through. I know many people who use the word 'planted' for 'place' or 'sit'. I have used it on occasion but not often. The word 'planted' as he used it sounds OK to me ... He's still an idiot though for not knowing the difference between Syria and Jordan.
Thanks.
Why didn’t he just say “hiding Easter eggs?” You know, like Saddam hiding his WMDs?
