How can two people with such divergent political beliefs even stay married!

A "Slip of the Tongue"? Seriously? Right . . .

How many American citizens - natural born or naturalized - would you have to awaken from a sound sleep at 4am to ask how many U.S. states there are before you would find even ONE who wouldn't answer "50"?

I'd say you'd have to wake millions.

And anyone who watches the clip of Obama saying 57 states can see that he really has no idea of the correct answer is.

Obama says 57 states.

In a tweet, George Conway, a conservative lawyer, criticized Trump for mocking Obama for a 2008 gaffe in which he mistakenly said he visited "57 states" during his first presidential run.

Why do I have this nagging thought that this guy isn't exactly what we would reference as a Conservative? Hmmm, where would I get that idea?

Do they? They have several children whose live were turned upside down when KellyAnne took a job in DC. KellyAnne was a terrific campaign chairman. As a general speaker for the Trump Administration, I’m not so positive.

Will the significance of the number 57 ever be brought up? I don’t think that anyone who was brought up as a cultural American would have made that “slip of the tongue.”

What does Kellyanne’s mailman have to say? Just as meaningful.

Both this guy and Obama should be in a Witless Protection Program.

She has four Kids with the guy.

I guess he has no problem making his disagreements with his Wife Public and embarrassing his entire Family in the process. He is attacking his Wife both Personally and Professionally by doing so.

As an comparison, take James Carville and his Wife Mary Matalin. Their differing Political Viewpoints were seen as laughable and light hearted, especially since Mary is more of a Bush League RINO than a Conservative.

The Kellyanne situation is different, especially since she is credited with running the Trump Campaign and being the first Woman to successfully get a Presidential Candidate Elected to Office.

“Except he wasn’t mocking Obama dingbat. He was mocking the Devotional Lying Leftist Media for “swallowing a camel” when it comes to Leftist politicians like Obama but “straining at a gnat” when it comes to guys like Trump.”

Excellent point.

Slip of the tongue? Tell that to Dan Quayle who almost 30 years later still cannot escape that e on the end of potato because the liberal media never miss an opportunity to bring it back up.

Omarosa, Jeb!, Mueller Mad-Maxine and Obama are all inviting George Conway for a catered lunch at an undisclosed cafe, on the house!

>>I can’t imagine doing this crap to my wife.

and to his kids as well. One can but imagine what they are going through, knowing how other children can taunt them for what is clearly not their fault, having a POS for a father.

My guess since he is publicly embarrassing his wife, he hasn’t held back trying to embed his insanity into his children’s minds either.

How does an American “accidentally” say “57 states” instead of “50 states”??? He doesn’t!


I agree. No one who was raised in the US could make such a mistake, but then Obama wasn’t raised here, was he? Whether or not he was born here is another matter—there is no disputing that he grew up in Indonesia, not the U.S. He doesn’t remember baseball as a kid, or for that matter, church bells. He remembers the call to prayer. I know he went to h.s. in Hawaii, but that state is a bit of an outlier when it comes to being America.

exactly.... he slipped again in the ABC interview when he said “my muslim faith” and of course when he said I’m one of you to an Islamic audience.

“I think it’s disrespectful,” she said. “I think it disrespects his wife.” Well then tell the guy to shut up or he has the sofa—but then again the fat slob’s probably been there a ling time.

> Mary Matalin/James Carville. Kellyanne Fitzpatrick/George Conway. What is it with these conservative women?

The are not Conservatives at all they "only play one on TV".

Some one has to play the bad guy (i.e. Conservative-Republican ) for the deep state Kabuki theater known as D.C. to be accepted by the unwashed masses ...

“How do these two People live under the same Roof?”

I always wondered that about Carville and Matalin.

George Conway is not a conservative if he protects Obama and throws Trump under the bus. If I were Kellyanne, I’d puke if I had to crawl in bed next to him.

This sounds like a Mary Matalin and James Carville marriage, but without the good humor and cordiality.
