IIRC ... zero said 57 ... but then, I'm over 60 and I don't qualify for some-timer's medication.

Y'all just gonna' have to put up with me until I die.

You recall correctly.

In the very same statement he said that "we are going to ___ (I think Oregon) tomorrow and my staff tells me that I won't be allowed to go to Hawaii or Alaska."

So taken in full context, this would mean 60 States.

My view of this gaff is that he certainly knows there are 50 states, if I slapped him around a little to get his attention, he could answer the question correctly.

Having said that, this was a prime example of Zero's mouth not being well connected to his brain.

You're 60, I'm 61. Do you remember a short time ago Zero fired Walpin the Inspector General for Americorp who is 77. When there was a stir about the firing the excuse was that Walpin had "seem confused" at a meeting on May 21st.

By that standard, Zero should be fired.
