Baghdad in the Midwest Cornfields
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-kenney7apr07,0,2161614.story?coll=la-opinion-rightrail


Congressman Mike Pence, Republican Idiot--Indiana, compared his trip with McCain to a Baghdad market to "a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime"

Writer John Kenney gives us a view of a typical Indiana family going to market

MY WIFE came into the living room wearing a Kevlar vest, helmet and night-vision goggles.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Have you completely forgotten, silly head? We're going to the market."

I placed my hand at my head. I'd been so caught up in stitching a minor wound I'd received earlier in the day after going to an outdoor fruit stand that I had completely forgotten.

"I'm a dope, aren't I?" I said, chuckling, slowly shaking my head back and forth. She chuckled too, also shaking her head. We both chuckled. Then I winced from where a stitch popped.

2. I hope McCain's staff puked when they read this.
I think any remote chance he had at 2008 was lost with that horseshit he shoveled last week. What a total douch bag Pence is too.

:dunce:
