Holy shit. A speaker at the McCain town hall just said, "When I was in school, we had Jack and Jill

[dem629]

run up the hill. I could understand that. This legislation coming out of WaRshington, people don't even understand it!"

So he wants the language like "See Spot run."

Brilliant.

[Echo In Light]

1. Hey, can't say those right-wingers don't understand the demographic they target

[damntexdem]

2. See McCain run. See McCain act stupid. See McCain lose.

See McCain still act stupid. See dumb ass talk to McCain.

[Cleita]

3. Didn't Jack fall down and break his crown? I wonder what kind of health

care he got? Cheeze, this woman's life is dictated by what she learned in nursery school? No wonder we are doomed with people like this. When did they get interested in politics anyway? People like that stayed home because they didn't understand issues and they didn't vote. We have to make them do that again.

[chaplainM]

19. The answer is in verse two

"Then up Jack got,
And home did trot,
As fast as he could caper;
To old Dame Dob,
Who patched his nob
With vinegar and brown paper."

In verse three, Old Dame Dob was forced to endure end-of-life counseling.

[ellie]

26. hahahahaha!

[YOY]

4. Maybe it was because they had "Jack and Jill" instead of Jack London and Dr. Jill Biden

That you cannot read it?

[timeforpeace]

5. He doesn't need to understand it. He needs to shut up.

[Bluerthanblue]

6. well, here's something positive- At least there is legislation coming out

of Washington now, that has this person getting involved- and TRYING to read it-

They clearly didn't look at much that's come out of Washington for the last 50yrs or so.

:shrug:

[azmouse]

7. Is it any wonder the AZ school system is one of the worst in the country?

Keep 'em stupid, keep 'em RW... :banghead:

9. He's mad someone stole his...

Little black Sambo book....

[create.peace]

14. i have my mother's copy from the late 20s

it was the only book i hid from my kids, until i used it as an example of 'the way things were.'

[dem629]

18. I have a very old copy of it. Was told it's worth over $300.

Interesting piece of history.

[Captain Hilts]

10. Puff the Cat says to hell with that.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Apparently, so do the 'leaders' of the GOP, like Palin and Newt. They can't read the drafts of the

bills and understand a thing.

[Pangolin2]

12. Well, when I was in school we had

To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else,
it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and
hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses,
mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my
bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine
enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath
not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs,
dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with
the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject
to the same diseases, healed by the same means,
warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as
a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?
if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison
us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not
revenge?

[liberalmuse]

13. I hope that twit doesn't vote.

But I'll bet he never misses an election.

[YOY]

15. And never misses an (R) next to a name on a checkbox.

n.t.

[WePurrsevere]

17. And even that would just about max out...

[librechik]

16. INSURANCE COMPANIES SMASH

[walldude]

23. ROFL!!

:spray:

You know... that would probably work...

[Toucano]

34. ROFL!

There's a DUzzy for sure!

[SeattleGirl]

20. We had the Jack and Jill books when I started school too. However,

I believe my reading skills have improved a lot since then!

[Xipe Totec]

21. Let me explain it in Jack & Jill terms

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
and can't pay for a doctor.

Jack's in pain, his leg is lame
and can't work for his master
now he's home with broken bone
and Jill left the poor bastard.

[MineralMan]

29. Nicely done!

[no_hypocrisy]

22. I can do it for him.

Jack was sick. Jack had no health insurance.

Congress passed a law that would pay for his doctor, his medicine, and his hospital. Jack got better and lived in his house until he died of natural causes.

The end.

[seabeyond]

24. also had tom, dick and harry. you know.... toms dick is harry. so. nt

[Fuzz]

25. What do they want, a pop up book?

[MineralMan]

28. The aforementioned notwithstanding,

freepers are morons and morons abound.

[Hannah Bell]

30. i support having legislation written so that citizens can understand it.

i think his larger point is valid.

[Marr]

31. There was a time when people would be ashamed to say something like that.

And the crowd would've laughed at them.

We've enshrined stupidity and intellectual laziness.

[zbdent]

32. "It's too complex! Simplify it!"

Okay, so we simplify it ...

"It's so vague that there's too much corruption and waste! Why didn't you make sure that people can't cheat?"

:silly:

[dbonds]

33. Do you think McCain ever looks out and thinks "What dumbass's my supporters are"

I know he's not that smart, but in comparison to his supporters he's a genius.
