Red State Should Check Their Dictionary

Before they start a laughable attack on Joe Biden…

We know that Sarah Winky Palin’s flub with the General’s name was a minor one, the issue is more the fact that Winky Palin said the opposite of what the General said concerning a “Surge” (escalation) in Afghanistan not being useful in that country and, also, seemed to think reciting his statements on counter insurgency operations and other issues given by the mis-named General justified her lie.

But Red State thinks that the GOP giggle gaggle should be making fun of Joe Biden for dropping names:

“The Vice Presidential Debate

From what I heard, her worst gaffe was calling General McKiernan in Afghanistan “General McClellan,” which appears to indicate that Sarah Palin was having a Civil War flashback. Of course, Joe Biden referred to “Bosniacs” so the gaffes were not one-sided and for a Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to refer to “Bosniacs” . . . well, it’s kinda interesting, to say the least. I wonder if people will make an issue of it. They should and they most certainly would if Sarah Palin made that comment. Again, it is kind of silly that we are penalizing candidates for innocent verbal flubs that have little to nothing to do with how they would govern, but fair is fair and this gaffe deserves a fair amount of ridicule. Wonder what the Bosnians thought about this statement.”

Now… I know that Winky Palin may have had you, the willingly uninformed right wingers, mesmerized with her non-answers to questions – How can you win a debate when you don’t, NO, you REFUSE to even answer the questions? Anyways – but your entire right wing giggle gaggle of Grade 3ers that she winked at all night would do much better to check your dictionary before you get all falling over yourselves silly OR, at least, read up a bit on Bosnia and other foreign countries so you might actually have a world view worth commenting on:

Although the international community has done a laudable job in getting refugees and displaced persons back into their homes, the effort to find enough common ground amongst Bosniacs (Bosnian Muslims), Croats and Serbs to run the country on their own, or to develop a sense of loyalty to their common state, has failed.

As the Bosniacs retreated, a plain-clothes policeman discharged a pistol in the air, and “at least two plain-clothes officers” then fired into the retreating marchers, killing 1 person and wounding 20.

That had resulted in another round of population movements along ethnic lines, further separating Bosnian Serbs and Bosniacs and delivering a “telling blow to the multicultural nature of Sarajevo society”,

When you do finally learn to check your dictionaries, you might be well on your way to graduating 3rd grade and – one day, maybe 10 or 20 years down the road – you might even merit being a front page Blogger somewhere…

Some remedial homework for you Red State kids… Since you won’t be getting extra credit… And don’t spill your right wing koolaide on it at snack time!

And as a side note: Isn’t it nice that we have a Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who actually knows what he is talking about? Imagine that kind of competence in the White House?
