Now, after close to 10 whole years of having George W. Bush's malapropisms and verbal gaffes ridiculed, where's the media on this one? I happened across it on Fox News while on the treadmill tonight, but I hope it gets more play than that. This ought to be worth at least 36 hours of news-cycle blab.
It reminds me of another recent news story that was not buried, but overblown: the apoplectic cries of racism over a Georgia bar owner that made t-shirts comparing Barry to Curious George.

Of course, we all know that's an idiotic comparison; Curious George is lovable and cute. But the critics seem way off base in a different respect. By making this (and everything else) a racial issue, they're wearing their oversensitivity towards race on their sleeves. Some might say the shirts are an innocent poke at Barry's gargantuan ears.
But does anyone remember this picture, forwarded endlessly the past decade by left-wing elitists?

Hmmm... Now that wasn't racist? Juvenile, yes. No claims of racism, though, because all human beings look a little bit like monkeys (not that we all agree we're members of the family, though).
So now we have two instances where liberals are forced to endure the same idiotic little insults they've been dishing out for the past decade. The difference now is that there's a media apparatus in place that doesn't amplify only the petty left-wing critics. Barry Obama and his loyal devotees ought to get used to it.
