On September 15, 2011, the Arrowflinger heard C-Span Washington Journal host Susan Swain pose the morning question of whether a candidate’s religious stance has any bearing on whether a citizen votes for him. This prompted a rowdy call concluding with, “Most politicians… are more crooked than a barrel of fish hooks!” This video from a turnip patch expounds on the theme of that morning.
The situation that prompted this unscripted humor was that the ArrowFlinger had gone on local talk radio to promote various candidates, including Speaker of the House David Ralston, who was mistakenly praised as “a reformer,” but then the Speaker took a $17,000 lobbyist-paid vacation.
Warning to politicians. DO NOT GO WRONG after this man has put his name on the line in support of you!
Here is the C-Span interview, concluding in a barrel of fish hooks.
