It was a fairly dumba$$ thing to say and yes, he should get a little grilling on it for a little while to come. He could have said something as unfunny and as unremarkable without "offending" anyone.

This was not a Michael Savage Autism Super dumba$$ remark, this was not a catastrophe or Ron Paul moment.

Move on.

Unfortunately, there will be plenty of legitimate bashable offenses, this is only one if you are over PC, super sensitive feelings, somehow "hurt" or-have-something-to-gain-aclu-mentality.

It was not malicious, but totally a stupid thing to say.

But to call him an XXXhole for that is a joke.

Nothing to do with my policial views, I think he is an a-hole for many things. This being number 7.
1. His proposal for having combat wounded fund their medial care through private insurance.
2. His association with Rev. Wright. nope, I wont get over that.
3. His throwing his white granmother under the bus as a racist
4. His "clinging to guns and religion" comment
5. His comments/attack on the Imus/rutgers situation
6. His condescending tone and constant mantra with - I didnt create this problem (first with the economy and now the bonuses)
7. Making an insensitive remark about retarded people. Just imagine if some kid who participates in the Special Olympics and whose parents let him stay up late to watch "our" president? Change, hope(less)

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
