MONDAY'S GREGALOGUE: OBAMA SPEAKS AUSTRIAN, AND IT'S ADORABLE
It's almost too impossible to believe: the greatest President that has ever lived, Barack Obama, actually made a mistake while answering a question. Now, this was not an error in judgment: it was what you'd call a "gaffe." And as you know, a "gaffe" is only worth reporting if it's done by a Republican or an old white guy. Sorry, same thing.
It happened during a news conference in Strasbourg, France , when the Messiah was responding to a reporter from a place called Austria. In his struggle to answer, the One said, "There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing ..."
Now, I'm not going to make fun of Obama for thinking Austrian is a language - because, frankly, if someone asked me what's spoken in Austria, I wouldn't know. I mean, since when did kangaroos learn to talk?
But the only thing that gripes me, is an obvious beef: if President Bush had said this, it would be all over the place. But when it's President Obama, not so much. Here's why: as much as the media loves Obama, they're more terrified of his fans. Face it, no one in mainstream media is ready to hold Obama's feet to the fire, because they fear the pitchforks.
Yeah - pitchforks. You remember those. Obama said his administration is what separates bankers from "the pitchforks." And given his blinding star power and a mass of adoring fans less interested in the message than the awesomeness of the messenger, I would not take that threat lightly.
That's why I'm moving to Austria. What can I say? I'm just a huge fan of AC/DC.
