Must we? Must we spend a precious week and precious energy debating whether President Obama dissed those with special needs on Jay Leno this week?
Get over it, Politically Correct Police. Obama was laughing at himself, his lack of skills at bowling. He used an accurate image, if not a particularly sensitive one. He was obviously not laughing at the disabled. Intent is everything.
Watch the interview here. It was smart, it was entertaining, it was informative.
There is no issue. The terminally serious, who believe all things human must be greeted with deep, long looks of uplifted anguish, are bores. Those who are working up their outrage are using the disabled to fulfill needs we can only guess at. That includes you, Palin.
We can laugh at ourselves and at each other and still love. We don't need "moralist gotcha guys" sifting every phrase for possible liabilities, when what we need is real work in this real life solving real problems.
Get over it.
