Tweety just made Rex Rammell (R-Idaho gub. candidate) look like an idiot.

[spooky3]

And that guy is such an idiot, I don't think he had any idea how bad he looked.

Good job, Tweety.

[Orrex]

1. That's odd, because Tweety usually directs such efforts at himself.

For an hour, I forgot that he was a corporate buffoon.

[HillbillyBob]

2. teh igernance it boins!

I had to leave the room.

[MrScorpio]

3. It didn't take much

Rammell did all the work himself.

[spooky3]

5. it was a bit reminiscent of Couric's "what newspapers and magazines do you read?" interview.

Just with a few more questions, equally ineptly answered.

4. The puke said he was for a national sales tax

the most unfair of all taxes. How do republicons ever win any races? Is it the American people are so stupid or is it the vote counting machines?

6. Well from a recontructionist POV we really should not have an Air Force

:-)

[Catshrink]

7. And was he endorsing slavery?

Denying women the vote? He was parsing his words and I was trying to feed the dogs and listen and missed any nuance in his response. But my impression was that he said "hey, if it's in the Constitution, it's okay."

[my2sense]

9. Yes, it appears that he didn't mind slavery n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Yep he finally "got out of it" by saying that if it

was in the Constitution it was ok... but, but that means suffrage was expanded.

Now if I wanted to go to the ORIGINAL interpretation I would not be able to own land, or vote, or any of that.. and that goes for most of the people in this country. That is the world they want to go back to.

8. Tweety destroyed him in the first two minutes

The fool doesn't even know that he's a fool.

[CreekDog]

11. to be fair to Mr. Rammell

He brought a lot to the table to begin with. :D

[BlueIdaho]

12. Rex is a perennial candidate for something... anything...

Here in Idaho he shows up eat as many parades and county fairs and parades as possible, wearing his "Rex Rammmell" chaps and walking in front of his image wrapped bus. Even in this rabidly republican state, his appearance usually draws out the crickets.

He is a complete idiot with a personal fortune to squander on his ego.

[MrScorpio]

13. Thanks for the info

He doesn't seem particularly electable.

[NNN0LHI]

14. It didn't take much

Rex appears to be a few McNuggets short of a Happy Meal.

15. Don't get me started on idiotic RW candidates here

like Pro Life, for example.

Thanks for the revised link. It's a very weird story.

16. He's the one who made a joke about 'hunting' Obama.

Last year:

An Idaho Republican gubernatorial hopeful insists he was only joking when he said he'd buy a license to hunt President Barack Obama.

Rex Rammell, a long-shot candidate slated to run against incumbent C.L. "Butch" Otter in the May 2010 GOP primary, made the comment at a Republican rally Tuesday in Twin Falls where talk turned to the state's planned wolf hunt, for which hunters must purchase an $11.50 wolf tag. The hunt is due to begin on Tuesday.

When an audience member shouted a question about "Obama tags," Rammell responded, "The Obama tags? We'd buy some of those."

Rammell told The Associated Press Thursday he sees no reason to apologize for the comment because it was just a joke.

"What I would say to all my Democrat Idahoans: Take a deep breath and relax," he said. "We're not going to go out and hunt Obama."

He also told the Times-News newspaper, "I would never support him being assassinated."

19. "Rex Rammell"?

Does this guy moonlight as a porn star?

Who is his running mate, Punt Speedchunk? Slab Squatthrust?

21. LOL!
