500 million americans lose their jobs every month!

[Kirin]

Or so claims our speaker Nancy Pelosi when shes asked if the economic stimulus package is moving along too fast.

Video was added about a week ago...

And if you're curious...the projected population of the U.S. for 2008/2009 is 305 million.

[0ni0n]

I think you mean 500 thousand, not 500 million since there are only about 305 million people in the country.

Oh no, a politician misspoke about something! And, it wasn't offensive or anything, just an obvious error and everyone listening can guess what she really meant!

Bastard politicians, they're not perfect speakers like the rest of us

[Suited Aces]

She's a Democrat. How dare you try to point out her stupidity. That's only acceptable if it's a Republican.

[eunhye]

It's fine she made a mistake. No one's perfect. What bothers me is her trying to make it sound like we are going to be in such trouble that, we have to do something now or else. Too much spew from her not enough substance. Life of a congresswoman is terribul.

It's that gosh darn gotcha journalism

[Joran]

Motorboarding is torture.

"Fisting is not allowed." instead of "Punching is not allowed." - Me.

Oh god, that sucked.

No way guys! Some dude is just getting fired hundreds of thousands of times a day!

In other shocking news: Kirin is still a fucking crybaby not yet done fellating Rush Limbaugh.

As soon as I saw this, I came here because I figured some BGers would be getting some laughs out of this. But instead, most people are upset at the call-out.

Color me confused. Can someone explain?

[Day]

I think Cephius summed it up best bub

[BarthelloSylph]

Gotcha. I always thought it was funny when Bush said stupid stuff, but guess I'm just a mean like that.

Oh well, I got a chuckle out of it.

Quoted for truth. Political views aside, everyone here flames Republicans any chance they get, no matter how minor the infraction. If a democrat does or says something wrong, its shrugged off.

I can't imagine why that would be... with oh about 90% of the posters here being democrat and all...

The Difference:

Typical Bushism: "He's trying to put food on his family"

Liberal funnayz: 'hah it's certainly an amusing image of a man putting food on his family.'

Undercurrent: Nobody actually implies that bush meant exactly what he said.

Pelosi: '500 million jobs lost per month'

Conservative funnayz: 'haha what a dumb lady she thinks there are more jobs lost every month than all the people in america, lol democratic stimulus package.'

OFF WITH HER HEAD

[Davricle]

Well aware of that, I know. Asking for anything else here is like getting on my knees to beg a fire to stop burning down my house.

But its never that clear cut. You are sending it to two extremes. The fact that there is the term "Bushism" implies that the opposition has jumped all over it saying how dumb he is. Its incredibly well circulated how "stupid" Bush is, and the campaign to smear and discredit him based on this "fact".

Warranted or not, that's your opinion. However, you, and most people here, are biased. Hell I'm sure I am biased as well. I also think you are going overboard with the conservative reaction. It's honestly no worse than what would be done for a conservative mistake.

[zoobernut]

That begs the question. If everyone here is so biased and it pisses you off so much then why post here/read here?

If your motivations are always so politically charged then go find a Republican forums and you will find sympathetic ears.
