You Say Hoot-Smalley, I Say Smoot-Hawley - Let's Just Call The Whole Thing Off

"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."

Except, of course, that Republican Gerald Ford was President in 1976, not Democrat Jimmy Carter.

Joseph McCarthy-lite, she is. Richard Nixon, without the smarts.
