He didn't did he? * made fun of a blind man in sunglasses?

I just heard that story on the news. God, what a screaming joke of grown up.

Link Please to the story.

How can anyone back him, now?

these people who still support him don't do "rational". Ask Mark Crispin Miller, he'll tell you

See Wonkette for more. The link is around here somewhere - couldn't find it quickly....

and not a medical necessity. There is a lot of that going around, as I can tell you from personal experience.

I'm living in shades these days when I'm out because eye surgery has left me terribly light sensitive. Retail stores with bright fluorescent lighting are bayond my ability to tolerate. People get PISSED OFF when I don't take those things off indoors.

It seems to me that people used to think "blind" when they'd see somebody in sunglasses indoors. Now they just think "stoned" or "asshole." Stupid is no different from jerks I run into every single day.

of *'s inability to relate to people as human beings.

He cannot even conceive the notion that people may have problems that he will never have, experience or deal with. He is in a shrub bubble - a never never land cocoon where his staff makes problems "go away."

this isn't one of them. It was an innocuous non-event, and kossites and wonkette look like fools making a big stink out of this.

alone...

He doesn't like to "tease" people, he likes to BULLY them. The exchange smacked a bit of "How dare you wear sunglasses when addressing the KING!" to me. It was as shitty, childish and meanspirited as the "Que bueno" business in France when he jumped all over David Gregory for asking a question of Chirac in French.

He's a little thug behind a podium. He's not needling, he's hectoring. And he's a fucking idiot, too!

We would never hear the end of it. Another prime example of media bias?

repubs use it. dems use it. No one can prove it. Personally, I doubt that the response would have been any different. It was a minor gaffe. It has nothing to do with anything. Talk about grasping at straws.

Saying his insensitivity was due to "jet lag".



I heard one on CNN and another on NBC both say the same thing.

EVIL!!!

real comfortable in there." This is the same guy who is the fruit of the womb of a hag who tells people stuffed into an arena how much better off they are instead of being in New Orleans in their own homes and beds. Totally clueless bunch of amoral asswipes - and that is the BEST thing that can be said about the whole slimey family.

This isn't just one instance of misspeaking - Chucklenuts has a whole litany of tasteless remarks that run the whole gamut of the human conditions. He offends state leaders, people on both sides of the political spectrum, men, women, children, the poor, the rich, the infirmed. This man doesn't put his foot in his mouth from time to time but only opens wide to change feet.

being given the RESPECT he thought he was due. How DARE anyone wear dark glasses in his presence! Remember - this is the guy who has the presidential seal on a pair of damn cowboy boots.
