Arlen Specter Has To Deal With This Shit Every Day

Who are the only people who will show up to a town hall meeting in York with Sen. Arlen Specter? Simple: Conspiracy theorists and jaded retirees. It must be some sort of cosmic retribution that Specter has to listen to 15 questions of this crap after a life in politics. Actually, I think this is what Arlen Specter’s hell would be like.

Yesterday, Specter fended a question from an old woman about the North American Union, which will apparently combine the U.S., Mexico and Canada and give us one currency, the amero. (Why wouldn’t they just call it the dollar? Weird.) Specter responds, though, with the kinds of tough answers a politician has to give to his constituents every day.

“It’s not gonna happen. We’re not gonna have a union with Mexico and Canada, we’re gonna stick with the good ol’ United States of America.”

I can’t imagine Specter wants to deal with another 6 years of this come 2010, but he is an old white man. Zombie Specter/Zombie Barbaro for president in 2016!
