How Many Ways Can One Speech Fail?
With a speech that failed on just about every level, on the facts, on the visuals, and even on the reaction from the media arm of the Republican Party (that would be FOX Noise), it almost seems like there is nothing left to mock about Tuesday’s speech by John McCain (R-AZ), but there is one little thing worth mentioning.
McCain began by saying:
Good evening from the great city of New Orleans.
Uhhh, no not so much. McCain’s speech was giving from Kenner, a city about 15 miles outside of New Orleans. Admittedly this is a minor mistake, compared to for instance, not knowing the difference between Sunnis and Shiites, and it didn’t seem to bother his electrified crowd of a couple dozen. It would be like me being in the Hilton in Gaithersburg, Maryland and saying I was speaking to you from the “great city of Washington, DC.
If you are going to use New Orleans and Hurricane as a “political prop” then at least get some of the most basic facts right, like what fucking city you are in.
