We hired a new guy at the office - he's not shy about spouting extra-stupid RW shit.... |
|
At lunch today, in front of prospective vendors:
Him: "You know Obama said that thing about campaigning in 57 states, well is it just a coincidence that there are 57 Islamic states in the world?"
Me (not knowing or caring if that's true): "Well, there are 57 Varieties of Heinz ketchup too."
Got a big laugh from everyone at the table except him - and we did not talk politics anymore. :D

6. give him a copy of this |
|
www.russellsage.org/publications/workingpapers/bartels/document (a pdf)
A study from Princeton that shows how democrats are better for the economy over a 50 year period and then ask him, if he were CEO, would he choose to do business with the company that cost him money or made him money?
make sure you read it first, of course, since your fellow employees might be interested. :)

11. It's the repuke equivalent of Tourette's Syndrome |

They can't seem to control the impulse to spout ignorant shit.

12. The Wingnut might have taken the Heinz ketchup remark seriously |
|
and he's now wondering if there's a connection between John Kerry, his wife, ketchup, and 57 Islamic States.

13. Can't you get him fired? |
|
That would be the perfect solution for such an idiot, I think.
