Burns Urges Gov To Declare Fire Emergency -- A Month After Gov Had Already Done So

By Greg Sargent | bio
GOP Senator Conrad Burns -- already reeling from a string of gaffes -- has done it again. It appears that he sent a letter to Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer urging him to declare a fire state of emergency. But there was just one problem: Schweitzer had already done so -- more than a month earlier. Whoops! Another gaffe involving fires -- and one that made him look out of touch with his constituents, to boot. More clowning with Burns after the jump.

The gift that keeps on giving. The scary part is that he's still competitive. I know it's Montana, but why is he not in Katherine Harris/Alan Keyes territory in the polls?

1. What is wrong with his staff? They obviously are not helping.

This guy needs to retire ASAP!

2. Is Burns old enough to be senile?

3. "And another thing.. Where's my damn car keys?!"

4. "maybe.... well, it just slipped by him.” - Schweitzer. Funny stuff.

Harris, Santorum, Allen, now Burns. Are there any Republican Senate candidates that are NOT laughingstocks this year?

On edit: I forgot Stevens of the internet tubes. "They're tubes!"
