I like Mike even more

My Gravel-loving ego got a bit of a boost yesterday when I saw the following question in the “Gosh, I Love America!”: A 2008 Campaign Quiz piece in the October 15 issue of the New Yorker:

Two of these quotes are from Mike Gravel. Which one is from Mitt Romney?

(a) “I am prepared to tell you that Americans are getting fatter and dumber. I have no problem saying that.”
(b) “I think we at one point were fish coming out of the slime.”

The answer is pretty obvious. I found source material for both quotes.

Of course, the entry of South Carolina’s favorite son candidate threatens to upset the entire race.
