Kevin McCarthy has problems speaking English

A recent column by Dana Milbank in the Washington Post, indicates that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who well might be the next Speaker of the House, has problems with the English language. (It seems to be the the same problem that afflicted George W. Bush.)

For example:

McCarthy called for “an effective politically strategy to match the military strategy,” and he lamented that “we have isolated Israel while bolding places like Iran.” He blamed President Obama’s White House for “putting us in tough decisions for the future,” but he voiced hope that a “safe zone would create a stem the flow of refugees.” And he scolded the Department of Veterans Affairs for failing to assist returning servicemen “who fought to the death in Ramadi.”


You just gotta love that last sentence. “And he scolded the Department of Veterans Affairs for failing to assist returning servicemen ‘who fought to the death in Ramadi.’”

If nothing else, this wing nut will give us a few chuckles. And we’re going to need them as the GOP continues its effort to destroy the government.

Brainwashing by the plutocracy-owned mass media is an important factor in the dumbing down of America.
