It sets out five items as counter-evidence to Obama's claim that he had not been planning to run for president for many years. The items about essays he wrote as a third-grader and kindergartner are presented in precisely the same fashion as the other points. Absolutely nothing, in either word or graphic presentation, sets them apart or in any other way suggests they are presented as a joke.
This is the second time running that Penn has been caught out playing fast and loose with the facts in a Morning Joe appearance. Just last week, he scolded Scarborough for airing a Zogby poll showing Hillary losing to the GOP front-runners. Penn bizarrely claimed that the poll was "meaningless" because it was the first online poll Zogby had ever conducted. The problem for Penn: Zogby has been running online polls for almost ten years, and no one knows that better than Penn himself since, as the Zogby folks were quick to point out, Penn and the Hillary campaign . . . have been the #1 consumers of Zogby's online polling data.
HA HA, cackles from the cankles!
Aw c’mon, it was just a “botched joke” of the Jon Cary variety. You know, the kind of “joke” that would not be remotely funny if it really were an attempt at humor, but is so obviously not an attempt at humor that only the most dim-witted humorless fools could even try the “it’s just a botched joke” type of spin. From Jon Cary to Shrillary, Democrats are the botched joke.
Still, I do like to imagine Shrillary trying to pretend to laugh before a media audience talking about this..... her favorite cackle, or rather cackles from the cankles....
