“I think it’s wise to know when to shut up.” – Alan Keyes during a media interview in a downtown Wheaton Metra station.
This was in reference to the following:
During Keyes’ remarks, one of the sign-waving supporters called Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for the Senate seat, a “puppet” of Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.
Given his eruptions on O’Hare, I think we can safely say that he’ll be saying something about Daley pretty soon. The challenge will be to get either to actually answer a question instead of going off on a non-sequitur.
From my inbox:
August 15th.
BLITZER: If you lose, will you come back to Maryland, or stay in Illinois?
KEYES: Well, I think we’re going to be forming ties here. And the ties that are forged in the heat of an important battle of community deeply confirm the community of heart and principle that’s involved–and I’m sure our hearts will follow those principles which are working with the people in this state in order to achieve the outcome
“…thus Alan Keyes joins the Richard M. Daley school of non-sequitur responses. ”
Perhaps Alan can discuss taking his pants off for us. I mean, forget the debates between Obama and Keyes, I want to see debates between Daley and Keyes. No one will know what the hell either of them is talkinb about.
