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.

Got to be something there that tends to turn their politicians into such poor liars, even though they get so much practice doing it!
When all else fails, Deny the previous statment

An Arkansas farm
AskMeLater Wednesday, July 29th at 3:12PM EDT (link)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.

Wow!

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.
