Stupid Kentucky Dingle Dorph Mitch O'Connell Confuses Kentucky and Duke

selmaborntidefan · Mar 26, 2014

You might recall a couple of years ago when Plugs Biden referenced the San Francisco Giants in a playoff game between the 49ers and NY Giants. Although funny, that's understandable since San Fran does have a team called the Giants.

But how does the clown putting together a commercial mix up hated Duke with beloved Kentucky?

And yes I know it's McConnell, but Reagan called him O'Connell in a 1984 campaign stop so there!

That might cost him the election in KY. Seriously.

I know. It's not impossible for sure.

I am sure McConnell put this commercial together himself.

I'm sure he didn't. But things done in one's name still carry consequences for the one with the name. I find it funny but then again politicians shouldn't wear funny hats (pretend sports fan) either. Just ask Dukakis about his tank ride.

Where this may undo McConnell is because he's been there about 30 years or so and it plays right into the "he's really out of touch" theme that undoes a lot of guys who have been in DC forever. It's sort of like when GHW Bush looked at his watch - it crystallizes preconceptions people have of a person. Joe Biden was undone in 1987 when he plagiarized Neil Kinnock - not because of the plagiarism but because his entire candidacy was based on his reputation as an orator who gave good speeches. Gary Hart was undone the same year only because he was already rumored to be a guy who 'really got around.'

It happens all the time. I just found it sort of funny.

Wait, maybe they don't understand. He's a US Senator. He can do as he wishes.

He should have resigned 12 years ago.

I'm sure someone on this board loves him but he is the biggest two-faced menace. He is simply awful and is a great example of what DC can do to good people if one gets too comfortable up there.

I thought I saw him in the Star Wars bar scene. Maybe that was Waxman.

Dukakis actually took a tank ride. Biden actually said what you put above. Yes, politicians have to own their ads. But to act like this reflects personally on McConnell and his intelligence or lack thereof is silly.

Then call me silly! It reflects poorly on Mr. Mitch.

This has been big news in the tri-state area of Ohio, KY. and W.V. the past few days.

This could never happen to O'bummer cause he knows basketball and the 57 states.

Republican Senate candidate Matt Bevin wants to make sure that Kentucky voters see Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) decked out in Duke gear when they sit down Friday night to watch Louisville play Kentucky in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament.

You mean a republican candidate is taking advantage of Mitch's blooper?

I believe he is running against him in the primary.

Well duh!

I don't believe McConnell has much to worry about with Bevin. Story

U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin took part in a rally Saturday planned to support the legalization of cockfighting in Kentucky.

Bevin's campaign, however, described the event at the Corbin Arena in Corbin, Ky., as a "states' rights rally," and said that Bevin, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell in the Republican primary in May, didn't know that it had any ties to cockfighting.

"It was not a cockfighting rally, it was a states' rights rally," said Rachel Semmel, a Bevin spokeswoman.

But the event's organizer told the Corbin News Journal that the sole purpose of the rally was to gain support for legislation to legalize cockfighting in Kentucky. The newspaper reported that about 700 people attended.

"The movement is about changing the law, not breaking the law," said David Devereaux, director of the American Gamefowl Defense Network.
