Sen. Orrin Hatch: Running a small town is tougher than running a large town
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 08:30 PM by endthewar
Yep, that's his spin when Andrea Mitchell asked him about Palin being a small-town mayor. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Sorry, but I don't think that's a winning argument with the American people.

11. Said it with a straight face too
Keith got the last word though. Andrea Mitchell sent it back to Keith after the interview and Keith called BS on Carly Fiorina's and Orrin Hatch's talking points about Palin being a reformer when she took $20+ million in earmark money as mayor of that little town.

13. Check your subject line-- you said 'small town' twice and I don't think that's what he said.
What he said was bullshit, not crazy.:-)

15. Anyone who has run a KOA campground could totally be
president. From what I understand, that's HELL. Air traffic controllers have got NOTHING on people who run KOA campgrounds. Forget being a high school teacher. That's the shit.
