They're indications of education, sophistication, intellectual curiosity and, yes, intelligence. These are all important qualities in our political leaders (which is what this boob wants to be). When it was pointed out that Puerto Rico wasn't a foreign country but a territory of his own country, the country he seeks to help govern, he responded with "I really don’t care what it is. It doesn't matter."

the absence of intellectual curiosity in a person always raises a flag

Your feet stink and mine don't.


My feet stink and your's don't.

It all depends on which way your wind is blowing.

I work with an automation programmer from Puerto Rico. One night he made a comment about illegal immigrants. And one of the plant wingnuts said, "If you don't like our laws just get out. Go back to the country you were born in." Jose replied, "I was born in this country you dumb fuck." "No you weren't, you were born over in Puerto Rico. Tee, he, he..."
