Umm, What?

The Boy overheard this the other day, so I can't verify its accuracy, but I don't doubt its accuracy.

A couple of girls were in a heated political discussion, both of them greatly displeased with the current administration, when one of them exclaimed:

And now Bush is just handing over total control of our ports to Iraq!

And her friend not only didn't correct her (on any count), but agreed with her and joined her outrage.

It's exciting that these two and all their sorority sisters can vote. At least they'll probably vote for the Democratic candidate. ;-)

Seriously, though, I find myself in the odd position of defending the Bush administration more often than I like. Or, if not defending, at least correcting misinformation and filling in knowledge gaps (like I'm so well-informed, generally avoiding politics like I do). So I don't doubt the story about these two girls even a little.

But really. Iraq?! Boggles the mind.
