Huff Po makes big Gaffe - no one is surprised [View all]

The whole HeforgottosalutetheMarinegate has been commented on here in several different forums.

Some of the anger/bemusement has been directed at Fox News as the seem to have found another scandal. "Speculation" among DUers is that they will go with this 24/7 as long as they can. I put that in quotes, because its really pretty much of a given.

But I came across this "scandal" (I put that in quotes because its pretty much of a sad partisan Palinesque grab at some sort of relevance) from the post in Huff Po which labels the Obama handshake as awkward.

Well it seems they are going 24/7, too. I just saw anoter "share" on FB by Huff Po themselves linking to their original article. The headline in their article is the same "...Awkwardly Makes Up for it&quot but the headline for the story on FB is

Whoops! Obama Makes Big Gaffe


Sheesh!

The only gaffe is theirs for going with this. They have shared it twice previously with the comment "Oops!"

Hellooo, Is anyone in charge over there?
