Nice cover fire Keith! Keep laying it down until Obama is in the high grass then we'll all pretend this never happened.
Count the times Keith says to Craig "What do we do?"
What do you mean by "we" White man?
Nice distraction Craig! It certainly never would of happened on Letterman!
Now let us all imagine for a nanosecond if George W. Bush had made that comment.
Good!
You can all focus on Bush Hate now that your tanks have been re-filled.
Still focusing?
Good!
Now think of all the times Bush was called a "retard".
Good!
Now we're all back into the proper PC focus.
Here is the official Party™ Truth:
That was Obama's evil stunt double, who was hired by Karl Rove.
The real Obama was back in the White House focusing on the economy.
Please fwd memo to Keith.
Maybe he has impaired motor & development skills.
What is that called?
LOL
Me too. But I’m getting a magnetic sticker so I can take it off when I park.
The “Diversity”, “Tolerant” crowd don’t like us and they can get nasty.
And all this time I thought that Rachel Maddow was Olbermann in drag!
If a Republican news maker had done this, Olbermann would have featured it in his “Worst Person in the World” segment. You know he would.
Yes he would’ve but he doesn’t have the integrity to do that. It isn’t that I expect him to beat up Obama for days on this but at least he can be intellectually honest and call it for what it is a very crude offhand remark. He also shouldn’t be apologizing to one of his buddies he should be apologizing to the disabled folks who are a part of Special Olympics.
You have to remember that the head of Special Olympics is a Shriver!
Well, they are the same person...that’s the important point.
They/he/she is/are a switch hitter(s)
(I’m sure that makes sense!)
LOL
Oh,
THAT
will really make a leftist mad...
Are you implying that Maddow is not a guy? He/she/it sure looks like my neighbor's teenage son to me.
It already is.. I thought of that slogan the other day and am running with it 24/7 until every liberal has a brain hemmorage. I have been peppering youtube comments with it too. They are going apeshit over it.
It's the equivalent of flushing a Koran down the toilet.
Those West Coast trips with their jet lag must be murder on Teleprompter (TOTUS).
0bama: Dumber than Bush
(and what does that say about those who thought him “brilliant”?)
That’s the REAL problem they have.
I only caught the last of the little interview, and did not catch the guys name.
It may have been Timothy Shriver.
Press Release from the Special Olympics Chairman Timothy Shriver :
MARCH 20, 2009
OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM SPECIAL OLYMPICS CHAIRMAN
TIMOTHY SHRIVERREGARDING U.S. PRESIDENT OBAMA’S COMMENT ON
THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO
“President Obama called last night and expressed his regret and he apologized. He said that he did not intend to humiliate Special Olympics athletes or people with intellectual disabilities. He was sincere and heartfelt, and said that he is a fan of our movement and is ready to work with our athletes to make the United States a more accepting and welcoming country for all people with special needs.“Words hurt and words matter. Words can cause pain and result in stereotypes that are unfair and damaging to people with intellectual disabilities. And using 'Special Olympics' in a negative or derogatory context can be a humiliating put-down to people with special needs.
“This is a teachable moment for our country. We are asking young people, parents and leaders from all walks of life to engage in conversation and help dispel negative caricatures about people with intellectual disabilities. We believe that it’s only through open conversation and dialogue about how stereotypes can cause pain that we can begin to work together to create communities of acceptance and inclusion for all.
“Special Olympics is not a program, but a worldwide movement operating 30,000 events a year in more than 180 countries. Every one of them is a chance for people of all ages to get involved, to think differently about attitudes and perceptions they may have about people with intellectual disabilities, and to make a difference.
“And so we challenge people to join our 'Spread the Word to End the Word' campaign, a youth-led national awareness effort that will launch on March 31, where we are asking people to pledge their respect for people with special needs. We’re asking people to sign our 'R-word' pledge, to join in our Unified Sports programs, to volunteer, and to be fans of our athletes and our movement.
“Additionally, we challenge policy leaders at all levels to commit to improving the support and resources for people with intellectual disabilities in areas such as healthcare, education, housing and recreation.
“Finally, we invite the President to take the lead and consider hiring a Special Olympics athlete to work in the White House. In so doing, he could help end misperceptions about the talents and abilities of people with intellectual disabilities, and demonstrate their dignity and value to the world."

That was my initial reaction, but then it occurred to me that the fresh prince of Bill Ayers rarely allows himself to be upstaged in photos by appearing with truly courageous people who have actually accomplished something.
You damned well that gobs of liberals out there have huge lumps in their throats with the thought of trying to explain away 8 years of “Bush is a village idiot chimp”.
He does. He can’t drive. I read years ago that he was in car accident as akid and has no depth perception. He hated Bristol,CT (ESPN). Bristol is a nice place (I lived there for a while), but not if you can’t drive and are single.
It will never matter how many times this man flubs things. He doesn’t have a Texas accent or swagger so that makes him immune where liberals are concerned. He is too liberal and metropolitan to be considered stupid.
