Bill Bennett: Obama “Dangerous, Naïve. Yeah, Baby!”

Former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett today reiterated his remarks in the National Review about Obama’s “dangerous, naïve” foreign policy at a hastily assembled Las Vegas news conference.

Bennett spoke to reporters while tossing the dice at a specially reinforced craps table built by the Mirage Hotel & Casino to contain his prodigious girth. Bennett’s weight had previously caused three unreinforced craps tables to collapse on two boxmen and a security guard, in unrelated and previously unreported incidents.

“Obama’s stance toward Iran is as troubling as it is dangerous,” Bennett yelled, as an increasingly large group of onlookers jostled for space alongside the craps table. “Fade me, baby, fade me!”

The Former Cabinet member told reporters and fellow gamblers that Obama’s view of history “betrays a profound misreading of history. Six five, no jive!”

"The Democratic candidate’s willingness,” Bennett repeated, to meet with Iranian leaders “sends the exact wrong signal to Iranian dissidents. Who’s got the dice?"

Bennett said he saw “no conflict” between his role as societal commentator and his ongoing habit of gambling and losing millions of dollars, much of which he earned from speaking fees before religious groups and sales from his best seller, “A Book of Virtues.”

“But I’ll tell you what honks me off,” he said. “Where’s Barkley with our drinks? 12’s the point! Box cars! Big boys! Roll those dice!”

Bennett told reporters that he would discuss his National Review article at length, after he completed his roll, in the hotel’s buffet, where he would be found for the next six hours.
