Ok! I’m sorry but I just can’t help it!
Can you image the sanctimonious, selective liberal outrage we would have been subjected to had George W. Bush, a conservative like Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, or pretty much any republican had misspoken and called Nazi death camps in Poland … Polish death camps? The liberal press would have wasted no time in excoriating the transgressor as a stupid, right-wing, nazi-loving, drooling, anti-woman, old-people killing, drunken, hate mongering neocon with latent heterosexual and homicidal tendencies, etc.! I mean Bill Maher would have had material for at least a month’s worth of left-wing verbal diarrhea!
However, since it was the anointed-one, Barack Obama, who committed the gaff …. he simply “misspoke.”
