George W. Bush Is No ‘Mr. Secretary.’
By Vince Leibowitz on Nov 9, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections
Check out what GWB has said on the CD-22 race:
President Bush told a White House news conference that it’s hard to win elections when it requires winning a write-in election “in our state of Texas.”
“I had to go down to Houston, in Sugar Land, and act as Secretary of State — ‘Take your pencil into the box and then write it in.’ I’m not sure Iraq had much to do with the outcome of that election,” Bush said.
This shows what a poor grasp Bush had on the elections in Texas and CD-22. They were using electronic voting machines, not pencils, in the vast majority of the district.
I wonder what Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams has to say about the President telling the media he was doing the Secretary of State’s job, anyway?
Of course, it’s not really the Secretary of State’s job to tell people who to vote for and how to do it.
When he said this same stupid shit at the Sugar Land rally for Shelley, even the Republicans looked at each other and laughed nervously.
That he said it again at the press conference means, of course, that none of his handlers dared mention to him that Fort Bend County — and most of Texas, for that matter — doesn’t use a pencil to vote.
The Emperor has no clothes.
