Remember John Kerry’s football gaffes? Calling Lambeau Field Lambert field, and discussing the Buckeyes in Wolverines territory? Apparently, Senator Brownback, fresh from his denials that he discussed anything with Governor Sebelieus, has been discussing football with Mr. Kerry
LAKE GENEVA, Wisconsin (AP) — Note to Sen. Sam Brownback: In Packerland, it’s not cool to diss Brett Favre.
The GOP presidential hopeful drew boos and groans Friday at the Wisconsin Republican Party convention when he used a football analogy to talk about the need to focus on families.
"This is fundamental blocking and tackling," he said. "This is your line in football. If you don’t have a line, how many passes can Peyton Manning complete? Greatest quarterback, maybe, in NFL history."
Oops, wrong team to mention in Wisconsin, once described by Gov. Tommy Thompson as the place "where eagles soar, Harleys roar and Packers score."
Realizing what he had said, the Kansas Republican slumped at the podium and put his head in his hands.
"That’s really bad," he said. "That will go down in history. I apologize."
He gets points for admitting he f**ked up badly, but an F for failing to understand what State he was in. May not be as damaging as Guiliani’s abortion stance, but Packers fans have long memories.
I just wanted to post that video. Sara Evans is awesome.
