I forgot the GOP actually ran Kemp for VP back in 1996. I’ve mentally blocked out the Clinton years, for many reasons.

But I don’t think they’re the same person- Phyllis was terrible at reading the blitz.

Yes, it was 1996. Tried to repress the whole era’s memories entirely but only messed up the dates.

Possibility #4: The column was written by a right-wing think-tank (like the Heritage Foundation) for publication under a “front” name — a known practice — only this time they goofed and gave the same column to two different fronts.

I think this may be the actual truth.

“but he did look bad debating Al Gore in 1992″

Surely it was 1996?

Looks like both sites fixed the goof. I know it’s good for a chuckle, but I don’t see it as anything but an editorial mistake. I like both sites (more FPM than TH.com) and will continue to read them, though more silly anti-science nonsense will seriously affect how often I go to those sites.

That being said, what took them so long to figure it out?

Of course, there were all those rumors that Phyllis was just a little too friendly with some of the Charger players.

Of course, she’s just a normal heterosexual woman, so there’s nothing wrong with that!

You laugh, but Phyllis was a pretty decent dropback passer. Not real mobile, but she had a good arm. “Schlafly drops back…Warlink is wide open…touchdown!”

Why do I care whether Kemp is an idiot? I hope he isn’t, but he did look bad debating Al Gore in 1992. That, I now think, should be nearly impossible.

Jack Kemp, Phyllis Schlafly Reveal Selves to be Same Person…

Jack Kemp and Phyllis Schlafly–One Mind, or One Ghost Writer?…

Cut-and-paste creationism? Yesterday I pointed readers to a column attacking evolution by Jack Kemp on the web site Town Hall. Today a sharp-eyed commenter pointed out that it is almost entirely identical to a column from Phyllis Schlafly from August…..
