ARDem at the Blue Arkansas blog captured some truly great footage of freshman GOP Rep. Rick Crawford floundering at what was actually a mostly-friendly town hall. Crawford couldn't handle the (very polite) heat being directed his way and cut off the hour-long event after just 23 minutes. But not before making quite a few boners. This exchange on the federal debt ceiling, though, is my favorite:
Man 1: It's one or the other, which is it? Default or raise the limit?
Man 2: Which do you want?
Crawford: We're not gonna default.
Man 1: So then you'll raise the limit on the debt?
Crawford: No. I'm not saying that either.
I really can't wait to see Crawford's super-genius plan for avoiding default while simultaneously not raising the debt ceiling. Since this plan doesn't exist, I'd settle for Crawford familiarizing himself the basic logical concept of the either/or question. I'm not sure that's any more likely, though.
