Obama Channels Dan Quayle
Our President, answering an Austrian reporter's question:
"I don't know what the term is in Austrian."
But what's even funnier? The press's adoring coverage of the gaffe:
Headline:
Obama Again Invokes Personal Diplomacy to Avert NATO Stalemate
Lede: President Barack Obama waded into a diplomatic stalemate for the second time on his European trip and once again succeeded in bringing his more senior peers into harmony.
It's like reading a Nork press release describing the Dear Leader's daily bowel movement.
And what was the price extracted from the west? A groveling apology to the Muslim world for printing some cartoons.
Smart. Tough. I don't know what the word is in Luxembese.
Splash, out

More glurge from the Associated Press
This time it's all about how Hugo-Bama is the most wonderfulest, bestest dad in the whole world.
From the article:
Wow! If it's on the company's Web site, it MUST be true!
So in this day and age, this is the kind of story that warrants the time and effort of an AP reporter. This is the best they could come up with?
I think there needs to be a few more layoffs.

P.S., This pathetic licking of Obama's boots by the media calls for a new tag: Obama Glurge!
From the article:
The Obamas paid for the swing set, which was made and installed by Rainbow Play Systems of Brookings, S.D. The company's Web site says it's the most trusted brand name in wooden swing sets.
Wow! If it's on the company's Web site, it MUST be true!
