Midweek Loon Watch: Freakout Over President Obama’s iPod Gift

Posted by Jed Lewison • Apr 1, 2009 at 8:30 PM Pacific

The loons were out in full force on Wednesday, attacking President Obama for giving the Queen of England an iPod containing video of her 2007 state visit to the U.S. because — get this — she already owns a 2005 edition iPod Mini. You know, the kind without video.

That they were offended over this triviliality was enough comedy to warrant a mid-week Loon Watch, but the fact that the Queen requested the iPod and that her former spokesman said the Obamas “scored a hit” sealed the deal: a Loon Watch was called for.

a video iPod the rightwingnut morans will 'fess up and say "oops, we wrong!"



Nope, nor do I.

2. Of course not. We'll keep hearing about a supposed gaffe until

the end of time. Stupid Stupid people. The need to learn to read before jumping to conclusions...but based on their spelling, reading is probably pretty difficult.

3. Bashers don't admit error, they just change the subject to another "gaffe," "outrage,"or "betrayal."
