Gibbs was one of them. That was on his resume — he was hired.

Just a little curious here Mr. Gibbs, how many states are there in the country? Because last I heard, Barack Obama said their were fifty-seven.

“didn’t know if Hawaii was, or weren’t sure if Hawaii was, a state.”

Well, is it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

92% seem to know, 5% are functionally illiterate

Hell, 3% never know anything.

It’s common knowledge that Hawaii is the 57th state.

So, 92% of folks know Hawaii is a state. In other news, Zero thinks there’s 57 states. I can name 50 of them, but the other 7 might be real stumpers. :-)

Kenya must be a state as well, if a person born there can become President.

You think those people are dumb? How about the 52.9% of voters who voted for Obama?

I lived in New Mexico. It shouldn’t be a state.
