I'm starting a new category: "Can you imagine what the Left would say if George W. Bush had said this?"
This story fits the new category.
The first appearance by a sitting president on "The Tonight Show" may well end up being the last.
President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.
Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.
He bowled a 129, the president said.
"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.
It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said.
Look, this really isn't a terrible gaffe. Not like giving the British PM a bunch of DVDs that won't work on his player. But let's face it: sites like Dumbaware Liberal would have the video up and running if George W. Bush had said this. Me? I just look at it as a stupid thing said by a human being...even if he has been treated like the Obamessiah.
