Also blah blah Lois Lerner blah.
Yes, yes,
it's all a rich tapestry of crap.
A video posted on the White House Instagram account showing President Obama informally salute two Marines while holding a cup has created a tempest of criticism on social media.
This was apparently the worst thing that ever happened since the last worst thing that ever happened, and was briefly interrupted only when a few exceptionally rude wags reminded us that the most super-best military-supporting president ever once
did it doggy style, meaning he returned a salute while carrying the White House canine in his arms and it was also the worstest thing that ever happened except it wasn't because holy hell, some of us have other things to do, ya know? Still, this is probably good for a few days of indignant not-at-all-feigned outrage at how Obama is a dictatorial figure who just carries tea everywhere no matter how many true patriots try to stop him. (It may also be a signal that Obama has not done anything sufficiently heinous and dictatorial for weeks now and the usual suspects are beginning to get the shakes. Oh, and apparently those same suspects quickly decided that it must have been
latte in the cup, because
latte sounds liberal so GODDAMN IT SHUT UP WE NEED THIS.)
So there you go. If you are the sort of person who spends more than three minutes of your day getting upset about such things, go for it, but know that the rest of us all pity you. Mostly. All right, not really.
11:39 AM PT: They're certainly committed to the bit:
Over at SemperLatte.com, anyone who is outraged by Obama’s multitasking can sign up for the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s emailing list, and express their displeasure by donating various sums of money to an assortment of GOP candidates running in the upcoming midterms.
Of course.
