The biggest Republican humiliation right about now (other than Rubio calling for the resignation of the non-existent IRS commissioner), is the masses of Republicans full of outrage over Benghazi (or, if you're Dick Armey, Bangladesh), who haven't the fainest idea where Benghazi (or Bangladesh) is. My bet is that 2/3 or more of the Republicans screaming about Benghazi (and/or Bangladesh) don't even have a clue what continent Benghazi is on (or, probably, Bangladesh for that matter).
After the inevitable hundreds of millions of taunts from Democrats about this, think of the tens of millions of Republican Teabaggers scrambling to find out where Benghazi is on a map--ANY map.
Bonus headstart hint to any Republican trolls here, by the way: the Middle East is not a continent, Benghazi is in Africa, and Bangladesh is not. You'll have to do the rest on your own.

(54,302 posts)Of course, if they watch Fox, they'd just claim that the maps of the world for the last 400 years are wrong, and Benghazi is wherever the Foxsucker of the moment says it is.
It is sad in any case, but it is sad that there were Soviet citizens who believed everything they read in Pravda, it is sad that East Germans believed everything they read in Neues Deutschland, and it is sad the that there are Americans who believe everything they hear on Fox.

Photo caption: According to a new PPP survey, 39 percent of people who think Benghazi is the biggest
scandal don't know that it is in Libya, including 6 percent who think it's in Cuba.
This is amazing, from Public Policy Polling's latest national survey:
One interesting thing about the voters who think Benghazi is the biggest political scandal in American history is that 39% of them don't actually know where it is. 10% think it's in Egypt, 9% in Iran, 6% in Cuba, 5% in Syria, 4% in Iraq, and 1% each in North Korea and Liberia with 4% not willing to venture a guess.

(54,302 posts)Some clever Fox-watching Koch operative probably poured $150 million into the Rhode Island Republican Party and had $49.95 left over for Virginia and Florida, thus handing both to Obama on a silver platter. As every good Foxsucker knows, Rhode Island has ten times as many electoral votes as Virginia and Florida combined, right?
Hey, if Alaska is in Indonesia and Egypt is next to Iran, who's to say I'm wrong? Sarah Palin could then say she can see Bali from her front porch.
