This is sooooooooooooo funny I had to risk it. Mods if you must, delete this post/thread. But before you would delete it, you would have to read it first. And if you read it, you'd have to admit, you laughed. :roll:

Okay, you might have expected Bluto (Animal House) to say this but a US Congressman actually said this.
The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

The guy IS an idiot. That said, after googling the video, I'm not 100% confident he was trying to say the German's bombed Pearl Harbor, but in the interviewer-talks-over-the-interviewee culture we live in, its tough to discern.....and easier for it to become a social media hey dey.

Either way, the person in question is a goofball, so I don't feel much sympathy.

In the video, he said "They (the Germans, since O'Reilly had referenced them) attacked Pearl Harbor". And in fact the Germans did not declare war on the US until after 12/7/41.

In any case it is just a product of the mouth being used before the brain kicked in, and that is presuming he knows WWII history. And so many people don't now-a-days that may not be out of the question.

You do realize that even you had to put Germans in brackets, right?
