barry: “it’s like the Special Olympics or something”

Kennedy legacy carrier barry trashes the Special Olympics‘ athletes (thus the First Lady of California’s mother, Eunice Shriver, who founded them) on the final leg of his adoration tour. He compared his crappy ass bowling skills to a Special Olympic athlete’s lack of skill. Clearly, he doesn’t know what Special Olympic athletes are capable of - including voting.

What segment of the electorate hasn’t he trashed?

He should pay for his remark by making the next “party night at the White House” a fundraiser bowling party featuring Special Olympians so he is made to apologize right to them in person - not through a spokesperson’s “he thinks the Special Olympics do great work” or “it wasn’t meant like that” or some other template response.

It was meant exactly as said - they’re r*t*r*s with no physical skills.

What would President Franklin Delano Roosevelt have felt about hearing that remark?

Here’s the video clip from Herr Olbermann via asdf11x.

JAY: I imagine the bowling alley has just been burned and closed down.

BARRY: No. No. I’ve been practice-I’ve been practicing.

JAY: Really? Really?

BARRY: I, uh, I bowed a 129.

Applause.

LENO sarcastically: Oh no. That’s very good. Yeah. Oh, that’s very good, Mr President.

BARRY laughing: [unintelligible my score?] - it was like the Special Olympics or something.

Audience laughs - barry keeps laughing - Jay doesn’t. I don’t think barry even realized what he said.

And then Olbermann says: “What do WE do about it?”

As in how do we spin it. Just one more example of proobama media bias straight from the horse’s ass mouth.
