It's The Short Bus For The "One"

Friday night "Zero" took the stage on Johnny Carson's... um, Jay Leno's show to show us all that he is just one of us. A normal guy, who just happens to have a very demanding job. I have to admit, the man is memorizing. He commands attention, he is an eloquent speaker but he needs his TelePrompter near by at all times. In his 45 minute twirl in the Hollywood Spotlight, he managed to insult the Special Olympics. When Jay tossed him the softball question about his bowling progress, he said that he had bowled a 129. Jay commented that, "that's very good, Mr President" with an obvious tone of sarcasm, Blammo replied, "It's like the Special Olympics or something".

Alright, he made a joke. Not a very good one but it was a joke. However, the folks at the Special Olympics were on the phone with him toot sweet, reading him the Wright Act. He apologized and said he will be a good boy and not offend the window licking set any more.

What if, lets say, W would have uttered those hateful words? Or better yet, what if it were Rush Limbaugh who crossed that dreadful line? Every news outlet in America would have been camped on their doorstep demanding an apology. But this little faux pa has basically been dismissed, forgiven and swept under the rug by his admirers in the Main Stream Media.

Well, there is a long line of us folks out here who believe that restitution is in order and penance has to be paid. I suggest that he be required to don the headgear of choice of our offended brethren and wear a helmet anytime he leaves the White House, whether in his limo, Marine One or Air Force One. He needs to protect his little noggin' so he don't put his foot in his mouth in public again... but that's just My 2 Pennies.
