Look who we elected as president. Half the country thinks it's just fine
that after several thousand repetitions, he still cannot pronounce "nuclear"
or utter a complex sentence without a script, and probably an animal

that Emeril's recipes are probably considered way too complicated for some
listeners. He'll be gone next.
