The president is too lazy and cocksure to have learned any prepared remarks or mastered the appropriate tone, notwithstanding that a government that spends more money than any government in the history of the planet has ever spent can surely provide him with both a speechwriting team and a quiet corner on his private wide-bodied jet to consider what might be fitting for the occasion. So instead he sloughs off the words, bloodless and unfelt: “And obviously our hearts are broken . . . ” Yeah, it’s totally obvious.
Mark Steyn has a new post up on NRO – need I say it’s terrific? Give it a read, if only (as Dan Phillips puts it) to see what a literary razor-blade looks like: Disgrace in Benghazi
*reaches for paper bag*
I’d give you mine, but I’ve already used it.
Thanks for tuning me in to this, Ink Slinger. Razor blade, indeed. And well-wielded.
No problem. :) Always happy to introduce people to one of my favorite writers.
*Chokes* And here I was enjoying my morning…
Sorry about that…
Wow…puts in perspective. This is a president that’s out of touch. And the Left has the ability to make fun of Bush for freezing several minutes at a school reading publicity after being told about 9/11…this is worst. Double standard.
