8. I'll attempt to recreate the chain that occured in his empty head...
I can't remember what the question was, but he started his answer by saying something along the lines of:

"Eh eh, look. A good friend of mine at the G8 convention asked me "well what about the reefs" and I said look (uncomfortable pause), I care about the reefs (uncomfortable pause). I like to fish, eh eh (smirk) and reefs are important for fishers so..."

and that's when I choked on my coffee and posted the thread. He then rambled something about small cars.

6. Now he's bashing people who are saying we're in a recession? Really??
I remember when he was running for President in 2000 and I remember HE was talking the economy down in order to try to run on economic issues! Unlike 2000, gas is at $4, we're in debt up to our eyeballs and the housing bubble didn't just pop, it exploded. NOW he decides to be an "optimist"?

:grr:

7. I think he said, "Reefs are important for fisheries"
Not that that makes any more sense.

10. Perhaps that's what he meant to say, but that's not what he said
With the thick faux Texan twang on the "r", I swear he said fishers.

9. Actually, it's a common Canadian term for "fisherman"
Less "gender-specific", don't you know.

13. They're even better for the fish George
Which is why there aren't any fucking fish anymore. As go the oceans, so goes everything.

14. A fisher is a North American marten that lives mostly in the tops of conifer trees.
It is a good bet you won't find one living on a reef in the ocean.
