I'll give him a pass on this gaffe. Being a Senator, I am sure he quite often hears legislative aides making reference to the 57 JURISDICTIONS that make up the United States. The extra entities in the list include the District of Columbia, US Virgin Islands and American Samoa and several others that I cannot recall from memory.

To make a complete list of jurisdictions we would also have to make reference to all the recognized and sovereign tribes of Native Americans, some of which carry out certain quasi-state functions such as issue titles for motor vehicles.

We should give Obami a pass?

If McCain said the same thing, the words old, dementia and Alzheimer's would be shouted from the mountain tops.

Don't be naive. This battle is far from over and the Rats will not go quietly.
