Illegal Immigrants: Kind of like goats, but maybe smarter

Or so says Trent Lott:

Sen. Minority Whip Trent Lott, R-Miss., was talking to reporters Wednesday about the immigration bill, when he said, “If the answer is ‘build a fence’ I’ve got two goats on my place in Mississippi. There ain’t no fence big enough, high enough, strong enough, that you can keep those goats in that fence.”

“Now people are at least as smart as goats,” Lott continued. “Maybe not as agile. Build a fence. We should have a virtual fence. Now one of the ways I keep those goats in the fence is I electrified them. Once they got popped a couple of times they quit trying to jump it.”

“I’m not proposing an electrified goat fence,” Lott added quickly, “I’m just trying, there’s an analogy there.”

Trent Lott is kind of like a pig, only dumber. I’m not saying, I’m just saying — there’s an analogy in there somewhere.

That’s why we should make a mine field. Stop ‘em dead in their tracks, yo.

Maybe that fence should be around umm people (like TL) who compare people to goats. I do suppose he has a point, these goats – er – people elected him.

In the Senate it’s goats. In the House it’s cattle .

Trent Lott exemplifies the word “kakistocracy.”

The word “cretin” does not begin to describe Lott sufficiently…I’m just sayin’.

Can we build a goatfence around, oh, I’m just blue-skying, ‘bama? And herd folk like Trent Lott into it, and then electrify the sucker? They can all go to church in there, and hold prayer circles, and hate brown folk and wimmin, and leave the rest of us alone. How’s that sound?

Sounds like a plan. I’ve never built a fence, but I’m willing to learn!

Whoops. I guess I should learn to spell, too!

I couldn’t agree more!
