> this level of ignorance and short-sightedness

It was a joke. Maybe an off-color, inappropriate, unfunny, bad taste, etc.

But it was a joke, not ignorance.

Speaking of too much time on HN (:

This is why politicians try not to say anything at all whenever they talk.

I was thinking because it translates poorly to text.

Delivery is too important, and every politician knows that a hostile media can turn the best of jokes into a brand new hoax / manufactured scandal.
