An imaginary but accurate accounting of how the press would have treated these gaffes, policy positions and just outright lie if they had been attempted by a President Palin instead of President Obama.
My favorite part...
WORSE THAN 'NUCULAR'
ABC’s Katie Couric summed up the general disappointment with the president’s communication skills. “I tried to warn the American people in that interview a few years back what they would get if they voted for her. Let’s face it: She’s a walking embarrassment. I mean just count ’em up: The mayor of Wasilla thinks Austrians speak some lingo called ‘Austrian.’ Then she tries her hand at Spanish and comes up with some concoction, ‘Cinco de Cuatro.’ Next thing she’ll walk into the window of the Oval Office and expect it to open — oops, she’s already done that. No wonder that when her Teleprompter stalls, she shuts her mouth until it catches up. I’m surprised she managed to get sworn in. And did she think that tasteless ‘Special Olympics’ slur was funny? Or making fun of octogenarian Nancy Reagan’s séances? No wonder Wanda Sykes feels at home.”
Yes we know that SNL can claim Palin saw Russia from her porch, but we wonder why they can never remember or make fun of the Obama foreign policy and foreign understanding flubs. We understand that when Palin is great on a teleprompter it is because she is an air headed bimbo (a bimbo who has been married to and has five children with her high school sweetheart) and when Obama need the teleprompter... well he is the smartest guy ever of course and it is proof of nothing with regard to his mighty intellect.
The doublespeak is double tiring.
