1. Hope someone posts the entire segment

This dude is either illiterate, or a Ron Burgundy being played by his speechwriters.

4. That was a variation of Palin-speak.

While laughing my ass off, I wondered if he were having stroke. That was one very weird speech pattern.

5. One Stupid Bastard. He makes W. Look like a Rocket Scientist. Third in line to the Presidency.

And he's visited "Hungria" Is that where you go if you get Hungry?? Located next to the Cafeteria?

13. 2nd in line. Only Biden is between him and President Obama.

Even worse.

6. What can we make of this?

a) He has assembled a staff that cannot write a coherent speech

b) He cannot write a coherent speech

c) He cannot review a speech and recognize that it is incoherent

d) He did not bother to review a major speech designed to showcase his foreign policy "chops"

e) He did not recognize as he gave the speech that the words coming out of his mouth made no sense

f) He has a learning disability that prevented him from presenting a coherent speech that was written for him

g) The next Speaker will make the last Speaker look like a genius

h) He is just plain old "not very bright"

j) He has risen beyond his level of competency (aka the Peter Principle)

7. k) Nobody better qualified and eligible even wanted the job of Speaker at this time

[Midnight Writer]

8. Kinda goes back to h) He is plain old "not very bright"

[jwirr]

14. I wonder if there is a learning disability that could do that?

As I listened to him I wondered about that. And then the big question - if so should it matter for this positition?

9. He's a gift.

Hope he gets the speakership.

10. a brain-damaged man to lead a brain-damaged party

god help us.

[Enthusiast]

11. Tell me this is a joke. Jeez! This guy is semi-literate!

[jwirr]

12. Absolutely hilarious. Only scary thing - he will be 2 places

away from the presidency. Long live Obama and Biden.

[tclambert]

15. So a guy who can barely speak coherently will become Speaker of the House?

For this Congress, it seems absolutely fitting.

16. Oh I know where Hungria is

Used to be part of the Osteo-Hungrian Empire. It's where boners come from.
