Never let Joe Walsh live down "Ashleigh, Ashleigh, Ashleigh"

[alp227]

Here's a Joe Walsh story that has not really resurfaced in the wake of his long-shot primary challenge to Trump. I remember watching this back in July 2012 when then-Rep. Joe Walsh got national attention for a disastrous CNN interview where he repeated guest anchor Ashleigh Banfield's name when the questions got too tough. At the time, I never imagined he would run for president!

CNN's official transcript is here. The official, full 13-minute video is below. To see the most hilarious "Ashleigh, Ashleigh" moments, jump to 2:50. And by the 6:40, Banfield clearly had enough and repeats, "Yes, Congressman?"

Or just watch this two-minute edit by TPM.

1. He's still an ass....

He's just "our ass" now.

2. He's not "my" anything.

We've had liars and bigots and cons, but we don't have to imply they're made of the same material as us.

3. Let's be nice.

He's so similar to Trump that he's sure to steal some votes. The mature Repubs can vote for Weld. It's like Nader losing the election for Gore.
