AP Via Yahoo:
Note to Sen. Sam Brownback: In Packerland, it's not cool to diss Brett Favre.
The GOP presidential hopeful drew boos and groans Friday at the Wisconsin Republican Party convention when he used a football analogy to talk about the need to focus on families.
"This is fundamental blocking and tackling," he said. "This is your line in football. If you don't have a line, how many passes can Peyton Manning complete? Greatest quarterback, maybe, in NFL history."
Oops, wrong team to mention in Wisconsin, once described by Gov. Tommy Thompson as the place "where eagles soar, Harleys roar and Packers score."
Realizing what he had said, the Kansas Republican slumped at the podium and put his head in his hands.
"I'm not sure how I recover from this," Brownback said. "My point is we've got to rebuild the family. I'll get off this.
My favorite part was when he tried to apply the analogy to Favre and asked the crowd how many passes they think he could complete without an offensive line, only to have multiple voices from the crowd yell back, "All of them!"
Screw the evolution question, can you really trust a President that believes Peyton Manning might be the greatest quarterback in NFL history?
