Overheard at the Rangers' game today:
"His dad was a president and he owned a baseball team, what more do you need to know?! Elect him goddamnit!"
Just proving yet again that idiocy is no respector of race, creed, religion, political affiliation, etcetera, etcetera...
(though come think about it, it does seem to have a great respect for gender... showing great affiliation with those who lack a Y chromosome)

Posted by: Vengeful Cynic at August 2, 2004 02:53 PMa) I think you said or implied that such was the case when first relaying the quote to me at approximately 2 AM Sunday morning.
b) Of all the people in the United States who think someone should be president because they owned a baseball team, no more than about 5% of the group could possibly be women.
c) You scrupulously avoided all mention of the gender of the speaker, probably in order to give yourself plausible deniability regarding that inane low blow in parentheses.
Any further questions?

b) Let's bear in mind that this was a Texas baseball game; I'd think that particular demographic might be a bit larger amongst Texas women
c) I scrupulously point to my ineffectual memory and unwillingness to refer to the speaker as male or female where I am not sure. I would like to think that you have a higher opinion of my ethics than that.
So in addition to inanity and an ultra-low blow, you have also made the remark irrelevant. Nice.
