>But Danny-boy?  He is *stupid.*  He is NOT a "knowledgeable intelligent man."

Tell me, have you heard him in one on one interviews.  I will admit that his
speaking ability is not the greatest, but you can tell by what he says
in those interviews that he know of what he speaks.  Let us not forget
that even the flaming liberal Ted Kennedy has said that he is an intelligent
man.

>It's not the *grammar* that makes people laugh at Dan.  Some people have
>problems ad-libbing perfectly.  But that's not Dan's problem.  The *content*
>is what causes the laughter.

>Who else would explain to the Samoans that they are "happy campers?"

In what context was this taken out of.  I am sure if he actually said it at
all, it was cut back enough to maximize its effect.

>Who else would explain to the press that "Hawaii is in the Pacific?"

How was he trying to explain that to the press.  What were his exact 
comments.  Why must you paraphrase.

>Who else would say "I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix?"

Maybe the quote continued saying that ...I practically grew up in Phoenix
and hopped on over to California for vacation.  

>Or "bondage between a mother and child?"

Maybe it was a falled attept to coin a phrase.  Note the wayne's worldesque
-age suffix to many words like babeage etc.

>
>But those are just the silly slips.  It's when he explains his
>scientific views about Mars that people really doubt him.

I can tell you have never written a term paper, wheres you evidence for this
one.

>
>It's when he has *no idea* what target prices are -- even though he
>supposedly dealt with them all the time in Congress -- that he sounds stupid.

See above.....!

>
>It's when he can't spell -- more than once.

I cannot spell either.  He at least was reading off a card that had the word
spelled incorrectly.  We generally defer to whats in print.  If a card
prepared by a teacher had potato spelled potatoe, what would you trust.
Quickly spell conscious, or is it conscience, or is it consious.

>
>It's when, during the 1988 campaign, he talks about the importance of the 
>program to interdict drug shipments at our borders -- but can't name the
>person in charge of overseeing this program -- GEORGE BUSH.

Sometime I forget my own birthday.  Maybe he was having a toungh day.
Pay closer attention to what you say and do, I bet you slip-ups happen
just as frequently.

       Evidence he doesn't know what he's talking about.
