Er, I've been to Monticello multiple times, and not all the busts are of the founding fathers. The re are numerous busts of philosophers, authors and other people Jefferson admired. Some of them look nothing like the person they represent, and almost anyone would have to ask who they are. I would think that a candidate running for president should at least know the names of the leaders of nations he will be dealing with on a daily basis if he takes office. I bet he knows the name of the Pakistani president now. "It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity and incumbency" --George W. Bush, June 14, 2001 (speaking to Swedish Prime Minister Goran Perrson unaware that a live television camera was still rolling) ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
