George H.W. Bush would like to talk to you about his experience with supermarket price scanners.
Don't know what I am writing about? Then see this:
To be fair, it could be that the coffee maker was malfunctioning. It happens. But alas, Senator Clinton is not well-positioned to take advantage of the regenerative powers of other pick-me-up drinks.
She can't work the economy either.

I feel the need to point out that the supermarket scanner is an urban legend. Basically, the NYT reporter wasn't at the event and wrote about it. He didn't realize that this was a whole new generation of scanner that weighed groceries and read ripped/mangled tags. It was not the first time Bush saw a normal scanner.
Or put otherwise, a NYT reporter reported what he assumed to be true about the President. Big surprise. We shouldn't perpetuate the falsehood.

Remember that one?
So some lucky photographer got a quick shot of GW putting the binoculars up to his eyes, then didn't bother getting the shot after he took them down and removed the lens covers. It's been used as ammo for the Bush is dumber than.... for years now.

I yearn for the days when we weren't forced to see everyone's dirty underwear.
I know I don't want mine hung out there.

PS: The binocular thing is apparently something of a tradition in military/civilian leadership interactions, btw.

He was at the DMZ in Korea, held up the binoculars with the lens covers on and-and- continued to pretend he was looking through them. Needless to say this was not a Jerry Ford/George Bush idiot moment for the Democrat.
What it comes down to is turnabout is fair play.
In ways other than this trivia Hillary has proved over and again that she is an incompetent.

of Dan Quayle holding a loaded RPG launcher backwards at a photo op somewhere in Central America. As I recall, the press missed this gaffe. I guess they were hoping he'd do it again and pull the trigger this time.
While I'm on the subject of Quayle: Remember how he was ripped by the media as being too young and inexperienced to be VP? My, how times change.
Because he was a Republican.
Sure it's not a biased media.

She was probably dazed by the smell of feet, BO, cigarettes and withered hot dogs. And the secret service had cleared the place of undocumented workers who might have been able to assist her.

And if you think Hillary is the stronger horse, of course.
