Ken "LizardFace" Mehlmann just admitted on MTP...

[slor]

that the chimp was receiving signals from aliens in space with the receiver on his back during debates!

Yes, I know he was joking, but it was funny to hear, and would make a great anti-* commercial.

1. How do we know he's joking?

:shrug:

2. My thoughts exactly! n/t

6. Typical weasel response from

someone as simple-minded as Ken M: Make a joke so that you don't have to answer the question. Notice he did not say "No, he wasn't wired." Kind of like the Chimp's laugh that "I sure hope they don't blame the Administration" during the final debate.

8. Melman wasn't joking. Smirk's controlled by SOMETHING.

In all seriousness, your analysis is correct. The guy did not answer the question, but ridiculed the questioner.

That's how the NAZIs did it, way back then. That's how their ideological descendants do it today.

BTW: A hearty welcome to DU, cubsfan forever! Ryne Sandburg IS a Hall of Famer.

9. Mine, too!

A chimp was America's first space traveler - not this crazy monkey.

3. Schrum had a great comeback

He said, "What, you sent Karl Rove into space?"

[coreystone]

4. I always thought that Rove was in orbit.....

:-)

5. His answer was an insult!

Damn self hating jerk!

7. when you are in charge of the espionage divisions....who create all

the spy gadgets....anything is possible.....I believe he is wired and receives answers in some way..(not from god) and that he cannot think of anything except his one liners on his own.

He is capable of rehasing same old lines. When he states a fact in a sentence with more than 4 words...someone is feeding him that information. (IMHO)
