The joke is one of using a politician’s own words against them, which appears to be an artistic device certain critics here perhaps don’t quite comprehend.
(Of course, president George H. W. Bush also showed how completely out of touch he was with reality by not recognizing a supermarket scanner’s purpose or being able to operate it. Clinton’s personal disconnect from common-folk reality is that she tells tales of woe of being $12 million in debt, coupled with not having driven a oar since the 1990s. Oh, the personal pain of it all).

I was in the Vietnam lottery in 1972. Pulled a high number, wasn’t drafted. Later became a fully-sworn uniformed police officer in Arizona. Bergdahl, in my opinion, is a deserter.
For those here who don’t appreciate me showing a donut in Christie’s suit pocket, please recall that Christie pulled out a donut and snarfed it on the Letterman show. Now, if anyone actually believes that the so-called “report” issued by Christie’s handmaiden lawyer exonerates him, I’ve got a bridge in Jersey to sell ya.
