7. Be sure to reserve the liquid after they hydrate.
It makes a great base for baby soup.

2. If we deliver them cold water, then man and fish cannot co-exist peacefully

4. Well, why can't we deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies?
Can't we, as a country, find a way to get bottled hot water delivered to dehydrated babies? It's the 21st century, people, we should be able to tackle the dehydrated babies don't have hot bottled water problem. We have the technology! We can do this!

6. He's got my January vote!
I will beat down the doors of the polling place come January to cast my vote for him. If I'm not arrested for trespassing first.

10. heh. I had to poke Youtube to see this to believe it
And clearly, there are no gays on that campaign, because SOMEBODY would've pulled SOMEBODY aside and said "Honey, GREEN? No. Baby, no. Just no."

Anyone else think that was supposed to be a not-so-subtle psychological nudge to associate him with money?

11. It's hot if it sits on the truck long enough. He was probably dreaming of a hot water bottle and
being snug in bed, far away from the disappointing turnout in Louisiana and the glare of the lights and confusing teleprompters.

12. Better to give babies formula.
Edited on Thu Jun-05-08 06:09 PM by Eric J in MN
If the ratio of water-to-salt in someone's body gets too high, a person will die.

A reason not to give plain water to a baby.

17. Transcript
=========================
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/03/AR2008060303837.html

When Americans confront a catastrophe they have a right to expect basic competence from their government. Firemen and policemen should be able to communicate with each other in an emergency. We should be able to deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies and rescue the infirm from a hospital with no electricity.

(APPLAUSE)

Our disgraceful failure to do so here in New Orleans exposed the incompetence of government at all levels to meet even its most basic responsibilities.
============================

As I wrote above, give babies formula instead of plain water. Plain water can create a deadly ratio of water-to-salt
in a baby's body.

18. He is invoking Katrina and doing a do-over. I'm sure we'll hear this throughout the campaign. Too
bad for McCain there is the photo of him eating cake.
