Sam Brownback was speaking to a group of Republicans the other day and tried to make a football analogy to make his point about
rebuilding the family:
"'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.'"
Nothing wrong with that analogy, right? Except Brownback was speaking to Republicans in
Wisconsin. Probably only worse place to make this analogy would have been in the city of Chicago.
Realizing what he had said, the Kansas Republican slumped at the podium and put his head in his hands.
"That's really bad," he said. "That will go down in history. I apologize."
His apology brought a smattering of applause and laughter. He tried to recover, saying former Packer Bart Starr may be the greatest of all time, but the crowd was still restless.
"Let's take Favre then," Brownback said. "The Packers are great. I'm sorry. How many passes does he complete without a line?"
"All of them!" more than one person yelled from the back.
heh.

Brownback should have responded. No, I mean without the vicodin!"
Or, and I am a Favre fan, he could have said, "interceptions don't count."
But then he might have been in worse trouble. Brownback seems to lack much spark. Bores the crap out of me.
