Just read the MSNBC story on Brownback's gaffe at the Republican convention in Wisconsin: he claimed Manning could by NFL's best quarterback ever. When he realized what he had said, he suggested Starr could be in running for best ever. Also not what the crowd wanted to hear.
On the big scale of things, between 1 and 10, this is definitely below a 1, but shows a definitive lack of retail politics. Or perhaps Brownback knows football the way Romney knows guns.
Since this is a Saturday night, what's your favorite political gaffe? And who is the best NFL quarterback ever?
