Which Way Did He Go, George, Which Way Did He Go?

By Kleinheider Posted on September 5, 2008 at 4:41 pm

Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey made a bit of a boo-boo while casting Tennessee’s votes at the Republican National Convention:

An auctioneer by profession, Ramsey spoke in a sing-song voice as if bidding up the number of votes to be cast for Tennessee for John McCain. At the end, he declared, “Tennessee casts 55 votes for George S. McCain.”

“The ironic thing is that, back in 1988, Lamar Alexander, who was chairman of the delegation to the convention then, nominated ‘Robert Bush’ for president,” said Ramsey.

He said Alexander told him at breakfast the day before the convention: “Don’t do what I did.”

“I told him, ‘I don’t think that will be a problem. I can remember his name.’ “

Somebody’s feeling cranky today! It’s an internet meme, Donna. I would have said exactly the same thing if you were male.
