There has been a couple more recently,
.
Last year when I was in Hawaii and the Tsunami from Japan was on its way to hit Hawaii,
Sara Palin the Governer of Alaska and one time contender for Presidential nomination, said on the Hawaiian TV
"If the Stunamis hit Hawaii, then we will hit them back twice as hard."
Everyone there was laughing at her.
.
and last week, Mit Romney said on TV,
"If I was President, Storm Sandy would not have hit us".
.
They have some great commedians as Presidential candidates in the States.
Cheers
Brian.
