I was telling my buddy at work about the latest "adjustment" to the economic growth of the first quarter when a salesperson showed up looking for the boss. She said "Y'all are Democrats, aren't you?"
Then came one of the strangest discussions I've ever taken part in.
She said "Why do y'all hate George Bush so?" My buddy, also a veteran, said "Because he sent our boys off to die for nothing!"
She said, "Well, what about what they did to us?"
I said "They didn't do anything to us!"
"They knocked down the twin towers!", she said.
Me: "How many Iraqis do you think were on those planes?"
She: "I don't know...4 or 5..."
Me: "There were NO Iraqis on those planes."
She: "Well Iraq helped with it!"
Me: "No they didn't, your own president said so!"
She: "The Taliban is over there...:
Me: "The Taliban are in Afghanistan...they've been in Afghanistan all along, and they weren't on those planes either. We should have gone into Afghanistan after bin Laden and al Qaeda full force, but instead we left a comparative handful there and sent 140,000 troops to Iraq for nothing except oil and grief."
She: "Well we needed to go there because we had to take out Saddam and Osama!"
Me: "Osama is in Afghanistan!"
She: "No he is not...he was in Iraq, and we took him out...him and Saddam!"
Me: Ma'am, Osama is in Afghanistan...your president's own generals say so."
She: "No he isn't. We killed him. It's that other guy...Ben something, who's in Afghanistan!"
Me: (Incredulously)"Bin Laden?"
She: "Ben Laden!"
Me: "Osama bin Laden is one guy!"
She: "No, that's two different people. We killed Osama."
Me: Speechless...dumbfounded..."*"
At this point my buddy started laughing...I think he's still laughing now. Me, I think it's pretty sad that idiots like her are allowed to vote.
And when she left she said, "Y'all will never turn me against George Bush!"
