y'all take your 'Special Olympics comment' with your various level of outrage...
and I will trump you with my "Weapons of Mass Destruction" card....every time

goddam, it is sure easy to crank up outrage these days...maybe y'all are just keeping in practice...

stupid comment (especially for a Prez, i guess)...but that is all...the only damage was to somebody's sensitivities...

but hey, the M$M will make sure the severity of this comment is discussed ad nauseum....

2. I'm waiting for the 'pitchfork and torch brigade' to arrive.
Yep. We're in for a few hours to a few days of outrage til the next bit of nothing stirs up the crowds.

3. I guess it's time for my DU outrage vacation.
It's been awhile since this place blew up over some gaffe Obama made.

4. I'm sure our 12 year old special needs son
who can't wait to get into the Special Olympics will feel just fine about the comment when I remind him it's OK for Obama to act like a fucking idiot, because you know, we've got the WMD card.

8. You are missing the meme the Rethugs will use this for.
The TelePrompter flap the other day with the Irish PM that Rush and his cronies have been using as a talking point will now seem like an issue to the right wing MSM. They say that Obama is no where as good off the TelePrompter as he is on it and that he is only as good as what is written for him.

We all know this is complete BS, as Bush could barley complete a sentence (with or without a TelePrompter. However, it comes at a really bad time as the flap with the Irish PM was only a couple days ago. All this combined with the AIG bonuses will feed the beast of the 24 hour right wing news media.
