....Obama's Leno gaffe adds up to one very special guest at the commencement ceremony of this year's Special Olympics.

That is all.

@1 Wouldn't that just give people the opportunity to throw eggs at him?

Anyone else find it ironic that our generation's Kennedy is being attacked for dissing the Special Olympics, which was founded by Kennedy in memory of another Kennedy?

Or maybe it's more ironic that the lobotomy prescribed for Rosemary Kennedy by quack doctors to deter her "unladylike" behavior, rendering her a vegetable for the remainder of her life was completely unnecessary to begin with.

But the pundits are right, the Special Olympics is a sacred tribute to the failures of Western medicine and should be treated as such.

I thought what Obama said on Leno was retarded.

It was a stupid, thoughtless remark that Obama made, but look at the constant torrent of shit that Bush spewed over his two terms. And Shrub never apologized for a single fucking one of his blurtings. He never knew they were inappropriate, and wouldn't have cared if he did.

You may now present a quote from former (there can only be one, right?) President Bush derogating any race, creed or other abled group while in office.

Waiting...waiting...waiting...

@14, "i won't answer any more questions, not in english, french, or mexican". i'm paraphrasing him a bit i think, but he did refer to the spanish language as 'mexican'.

@5 "People need to lighten up. " This is a common response when the speaker has no clue of what is going on.

@20

Listen asshole, Your screen name in almost identical to mine. People have told me that they thought that your comments were mine. Seeing that I have been using the name for awhile now and asked you recently to please pick another name because of the confusion, you still persist in using it. What the fuck is wrong with you? What do you not understand? Yes I am pissed by this. Now I'll ask again - please, choose another name. Thank you.

Perhaps you should associate with smarter people. Anything you preface with asshole isn't likely to happen, asshole.

Why do you acknowledge the trolls, Dickwad? It only encourages them. It's a stupid name, anyway.
