Stephen Williams FYI:

On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, killed three American rock and roll pioneers: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson.

Don Mc Lean called it “The Day the Music Died,” in his song “American Pie”.

I convinced myself that this error would be spun in some religous fashion. You know, The King was reborn into the Kingdom.

Personally, I file these gaffs with the others of no importance. It seems more like Trivial persuit when intelligence is rated by knowledge of pop culture and celebrity.

I should probably do some research to find out if Britney is single or married again. She’s still alive, right?

Bachman hasn’t done a very good job hiring her staff to campaign, that’s a hint. Who got fired for adding Elvis to her show?

Oh, it’s the politicians. See the Texas school board.

Although they got defeated this last time, they’ll never stop trying.

It’s not the politicians that resist elevating education standards, it’s the teachers unions.

Abortions were not legal when the people you named were born.

Elvis died on my twenty-fifth birthday; Tuesday, August 16, 1977; the day the music died. I don’t think Michelle Bachmann is a bad person; just a product of today’s education system.
And your politicians don’t want education standards raised. People might wise up and stop electing idiots like Joe Biden, Nanci Pelosi, and Harry Reid; to name a few of the stupidest people ever to walk the face of this Earth since the dawn of time.
This is the most powerful arguement in favor of abortion. If the mothers of Barack Hussein Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nanci Pelosi, Harry Reid, Jimmy Carter, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Henry Waxman, Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Charles Schumer, Barney Frank, Olympia Snow, Dianne Fienstein; and many more politicians: if their mothers had gotten abortions while pregnant with the afore mentioned people; this country would be in far better shape than it is now.

Mistake Elvis’ birthday? Clearly, unAmerican and wholly unworthy of office.

Sheesh.

Intelligence is not a required qualification for high office. See: Vice-President and Senator Dan Quayle and Governor and President George W. Bush.

So in other words, she’s perfect presidential material…After all, didn’t Obama campaign in 57 states?
