Marion Berry (D, AR-01) not up to keeping his story straight.

RESIZE: AAA

It’s sad when a sitting US Congressman loses his ability to remember the basic details of the shenanigans he went through to bring in the cash. Via Boot Berry, this classic moment of what we call a Kinsley gaffe:

To those without video: it’s of Berry first confidently denying that he personally gets farm subsidies (in 2007), then (yesterday) momentarily forgetting that he denies personally getting farm subsidies, cheerfully admitting that he personally gets farm subsidies, then visibly stopping and going to himself Wait a second. I’m supposed to pretend that I don’t personally get farm subsidies. It’s the stop-and-wait-and-visible-oops moment that makes this video: by all means, watch it.

And then check out his opponent Rick Crawford. Because if Berry can’t even keep up on this, him returning to private life seems best for all concerned.

    Good gracious that tool must be a Clinton family member…jeez!

    in that cheerful little, “Yeah, I do” remark from him. We should be doing some research into the water supply in Arkansas. Got to be something there that tends to turn their politicians into such poor liars, even though they get so much practice doing it!

  • Richard Mullins

    That seems to be his stated goal, if you go on record talking about Farm subsidies and say you do, deny it later.

  • blooch

    He’s busy listening to the little devil Slim Pickens on his shoulder screaming, “What in the wide, wide world of sports is agoin’ on here??!!”

    Considering his record when he was the mayor of DC. Strange, I had no idea that he had moved to Arkansas.

    That happens to me a lot when I’m talking about people I know.

    While taking a break from dove hunting on a farm in Arkansas. The hunters visited with the owner of the farm. Sitting in his screened in back porch. Behind his very new, very nice home. They gazed at the massive cotton field that surrounded the farmer’s house. The farmer pointed and said, “That’s my rice”. Rice, the hunters thought. That is cotton. Well, come to find out he had certified that field as rice. Then proceeded to grow cotton on it.

    For some reason I just think its funny that another another D-bag Democrat politician named Marion Berry (or Barry) actually exists. ;)

    He looks great for all the coke he’s snorted.

    And guys…well I hope the right-O-sphere bloogers have learned that it don’t matter how bad he lies or how much time he serves in prison, the black vote will always be his. It’s time to accept this fact. And maybe we can find a couple of TS/TV hookers with shelf butts to snort some massive rails off of too. Yeah. Acceptance.
