A Gaffe: Blame the Staffer 

A Gaffe: Blame the Staffer

Mickey Kaus has some fun with Teresa Kerry's cookie recipe. Although it's hard to believe such things happen, "candidates" for First Lady enter cookie recipes in a contest. Teresa's recipe has not done well; she has agreed that the cookies don't taste very good, and she has blamed her staff. Kaus links to something else--probably those ridiculous photos of Kerry from NASA. Staff were obviously to blame for Kerry having that [link=http://http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39668 ]Dukakis[/link] look.

I am reminded of a Canadian example. Stockwell Day, leader of the short-lived Alliance Party, does a photo op/statement with Niagara Falls as a backdrop. Pretty cool. Then he says Canadian brains are draining south, just like the Niagara River. (The river flows north). He also can't answer basic questions about the alleged brain drain to the U.S. Then he practically says the staffer who's responsible for this fiasco is going to be fired.
