In a news conference Wednesday, President hopeful Sarah Palin twice referred to her daughter, Willow, as being 13 years old.That's the last straw for me. I'm out. I can't support a moron.
Not quite. She's 12.
Perhaps she was already thinking ahead to Willow's approaching birthday: She turns 13 on July 4.
BUT...
It wasn't Sarah Palin. The real headline: Oops! Obama messes up his daughter’s age. And the real story:
They grow up so fast. But not that fast, Mr. President.If Sarah Palin had indeed made the exact same mistake, she would have been ridiculed as a dimwitted bimbo unfit for any office. Same with Michelle Bachmann. Speaking of: Ann Coulter: Media Assumes Palin and Bachmann are Idiots
In a news conference Wednesday, President Barack Obama twice referred to his oldest daughter, Malia, as being 13 years old.
Not quite. She's 12.
Perhaps the president was already thinking ahead to Malia's approaching birthday: She turns 13 on July 4.
Together Palin and Bachmann have a small fraction of the amount of gaffes that Obama himself has made, none of which were big news stories and many of which the media simply spiked altogether. As Michelle Obama said the other week: "Fortunately, We Have Help From The Media". Indeed.
