County supervisor, a Democrat, needs remedial U.S. geography

Edyookashun iz kool.  From Milwaukeestan:

There was an odd moment during the debate when Supervisor Peggy West stood up and seemed to be confused about her geography.  “If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this.  But this (AZ) is a state that is a ways removed from the border,” West said during debate.

I don’t know how to break this to you, Magellan, but Arizona does indeed share a border with Mexico.  While she was telling people to Google AZ’s law, she might have heeded her own advice and utilized Google maps to see exactly where AZ is located.

How humiliating…and delicious!  😆

Quote of the day, “Rubio identifies his competition” edition

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio on his race against the Democrat nominee (either Kendrick Meek or Jeff Greene) and the “independent” nominee Charlie Crist (video link here):

I’m running against two Democrats. One who admits it openly, and one who doesn’t.

Exactly right.  Crist has taken a hard turn to the left after leaving the GOP, which he only did after realizing he wasn’t going to be their nominee for the Senate.  Additionally, Crist has garnered the support of various Dem operatives, since they know he has no principles (which explains the appeal he has to Democrats).
