Rumors that Edwards may get same "foreign policy" test Bush did in 2000
Is it true that that Edwards is going to quizzed by the media with the same test that Bush got and failed in 2000 where he could not name the leader of Pakistan?

1. Nahhh
That's the media's test for Republicans. For Democrats it's much harder.

2. Think Edwards could get away with
saying "Lee Somebody, or Somebody Lee" was the only foreign leader he could actually NAME?

3. Oh, brother. As part of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence....
...Edwards will pass that test standing on his head.

Any more questions?

5. Retest Bush. He'd still fail it.
He'd be lucky to come up with the leader of Israel.

Bring it on! Edwards will smoke them. I am sure he briefed himself
before he announced for president and has kept up ever since. Unlike the current occupant, Edwards isn't afraid to read a newspaper for fear of having his view of the world altered.

Of geography. Now we all know where Fallujah is.

10. Personally, I wish they would ask him the very same questions
and Edwards gave the very same answers *Bush gave, without exception.

It would be fun to see how the "press" would handle that.

11. Edwards would get the same test, except
it would be asked in Arabic, and he would have to write his answers in Mandarine Chinese characters.

12. How about giving Bush the food price test?
Does anyone think he knows the price of a gallon of milk?
