No, it occurred to all of us.  And that's why members of the Moscow,
Idaho, Secret Democratic Cabal decided that the governors of Michigan,
Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Washington, North Dakota, Ohio,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Idaho, and Pennsylvania all have a grievance
with McCain, especially as each of them have been been governors of
states bordering a foreign country for far longer.

The relevance is so striking that that we are appalled that the entire
nation is not outraged by McCain's thoughtless choice.  And I'm not
mocking.  Really!

Yeah, they must have discussed many issues of earth-shattering
importance, considering Canada's importance on a global scale, it's
huge military, and it's well-deserved reputation as a hostile nation.
Her negotiations must have been almost as scary and complex as they
would have been if Alaska bordered North Korea!  Really!

Wow.  Such an insightful observation.  It is SSOOO insightful, that
some might mistake it for comedy, as they nervously titter to avoid
the gravity of of your profundity.

Are all Republicans as clever as you, or did you have to get special training?

P.S. My apologies to all Canadians.
