First of all, I gotta give props to the First Lady for her handling of Larry King’s question to her the other night about Sarah Palin.  It was a perfect answer.  Very classy.  Very classy.  Which, naturally, leads me to believe she was prepped for it by someone who, atypically for the White House crew, offered some non-snarky advice.

I know.  The props to Mrs. Obama didn’t last long.  I never said they would.

Secondly, “he who shall not be named” (so named because the minute you mention his name, certain people’s capacity to breathe normally and listen without a jaundiced ear evaporates) is reporting this morning that Obama has had a “read my lips” moment.

Evidently, he has said he is, and I love this “artful” word, AGNOSTIC on the subject of tax hikes for those earning below 250k.  See the full article here.

Has he heard of YouTube?  Do I even have to link to the dozens and dozens of times on the campaign trail that he said “not one dime” or do we all remember it very, very clearly… It’s not like it was a one-off, you know?  Not like it was off-mic, off-the-record, off-the-friggin’-reservation!!!!!!

AAAAHHHHHHH!  They have to-have-to-have-to-have-to think we’re stupid.  There’s just no other explanation, is there?

If a conservative screams and there’s no progressive willing to hear them, does it still make a sound?
