A moment of stunned silence on the MSNBC "Morning Joe" set this morning, when Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson asked, "What is Aleppo?"

"Morning Joe' contributor Mike Barnicle asked Johnson, "What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo?"

"About?" Johnson said.

Yeah, he should’ve known what Aleppo is. But ... he did go on to give a pretty good answer about the Syrian crisis.

Mike Barnicle is an idiot. He probably didn’t know it long either before this.

Years ago El Rushbo convinced some airhead Congressditz that his mother was subsisting on Alpo.

He added that for Christmas he gave his Mom an electric can opener aaaaaaand.... a case of New! Mighty Dog for Seniors!

This was read into the Congressional Record (later deleted).

Anyway, I think Gary Johnson just had his New York pizza on a fork moment.

Well, there is a couple of things i don`t know, for one how is it helping Trump in the polls?

I thought he would be taking some of Trumps votes.

I buy his reason for befuddlement. Acronyms are too common and over used. I get it.

In the course of the conversation, he thought Aleppo was one more use of some dang acronym. Like, ALEPO.

Acronyms have made stubble of conversation, are a pain in the butt, certainly over used and the lazy man’s way of communication, good for confusing the listener, obscuring meaning and complicating the ability to infer meaning.

He explained that he just had a mind moment and to him, he heard an acronym.

He’s a stooge. He’s for TPP, open borders, amnesty, etc. His VP is a gun grabber from Mass. But hey, he’s for legalization of pot, and I mean, that’s like, the most important issue of the day.
