Texas, pípulagningamenn og pólitíkusar

23% Texasbúa halda að Obama sé múslimi. Segið svo að neikvæður áróður virki ekki.

Ameríkanar eru klikk. En allavega, eftir kosningadaginn þarf ég vonandi hvorki að heyra né sjá fjandans pípulagningamanninn aftur.

Nema náttúrlega ef hann fer á þing. En það er allavega ekki fyrr en 2010.

Joe heldur að hann gæti vel orðið þingmaður. Það er ábyggilega rétt hjá honum, hann gæti það. En svo vitnað sé í Tucker Carlson, sem er nú enginn vinstrimaður beinlínis:

,,Wouldn't it be nice if we stopped pretending that anyone can run the government?

Joe the Plumber announced last week that he is considering a run for congress. Joe has never worked in government, but he imagines he'd make a pretty good legislator. “I'd be up for it,” he told radio host Laura Ingraham.

That assumption does not go both ways. There aren't many members of Congress who imagine they could be plumbers, and for good reason. Plumbing is complicated. Screw it up and there are consequences: sewage backups, ruined carpets, flooding.

You've got to know things to be a plumber, by law. We don't trust anything that important to amateurs."

Gæti nú átt við ýmislegt á Íslandi líka.
