Just checking. Now, I know you’re not laughing at Obama, but believe you me, we sure are! writing to Chirac as president of France; DVD gift-gate; half-empty cabinet; foreign policy blunders of epic scale; his teleprompter has a blog, for God’s sake! You, my man, are one seriously deluded dude.”
The fact that you would even list the DVD gift issue as a “-gate” clearly illustrates who is the really deluded one grasping for straws here. “-Gates” are not even reserved for blunders but rather for actual scandals, like, oh, i dunno, lying the country to war, wiretapping every citizen regardless of criminal activity, promising to fund No Child Left Behind and then failing to fund it. Giving a box set of some DVDs hardly counts as a “-gate”. Maybe it’s a dumb gift idea, but imagine the phony outrage you crazy wingnuts would be seething with had Obama given an expensive gift during this economic crisis? Michelle Malkin would be shrieking about how the country is in crisis and the elitist president is further draining our treasury to send expensive trinkets to socialist European leaders. But that’s because you’re all just a bunch of hypocritical phonies who will use anything at all, even a stupid box of dvds or a laugh to jusify your insane and pathetic hatred of our president.
And don’t ever forget that the only reason we have the “-gate” suffix is because a slimy Republican president committed an act of treason against our electoral process and had to resign in disgrace.
