?resize=865%2C452Remember that canard?
Conservatives trot it out every time they want to have feigned outrage over something like Obama propping his feet up on a desk (never mind that Dubya did the same) and defiling the sacred ground.
But of course, Kanye coming into that supposedly hallowed office and pounding on the same desk while screaming "bullshit!" and "motherfucker!" on national television -- "he's a great amurican!"
Crickets from Bill Bennet, who once made it his personal crusade to get rap CDs with profanity banned. He's equally silent about the profane Kid Rock being invited into the WH today.
"It's the K-K-Kid Rock with the K-K-Kid Rock shit
I'm on top bitch and rock for tricks
Hella whips and nips and flip trips for whips
I get all the money pussy falls like rain!"
-- Kid Rock, singing "Fuck Off," no doubt a Christian hymn
Crickets from Michael Reagan, who always invokes the jacket story (which, BTW, isn't true, as photos show) to describe his adopted dad Saint Ronnie.
Crickets from Bill O'Reilly, who needed smelling salts when Obama invited Common to the WH
Crickets from Sean Hannity, who always read rap lyrics breathlessly in his dramatic white guy voice, then demanded of guests "Do you stand by these words? Yes or no!"
-- Oh, wait. Not crickets from Sean. he said he Facetimed with Kanye this evening and loves him.
Ditto Huckabee's daughter, the poster girl of the religious right, who happily posted photos of herself with the self-described "motherfucker" after the incident. Daddy wont go after him like he did Common, I'm sure.
I guess the next president is free to take a dump on the desk, given that conservatives have abandoned any credibility on outrage regarding "respect for the office"

However thoroughly the myths are debunked, an unbelievable number of people relish repeating the "unicorn" tales they know are false. The tragedy is that they are so successful in convincing others to believe.
And so it goes.

But Pres. Obama topped all of their bad behaviors, because he had nerve to actually wear a damn Tan suit for the world to see

(5,106 posts)When did a dark blue pinstripe become the required POTUS uniform? Also, spare us all the photos of Trump looking bloated and out of shape in golf clothes. At least we won't ever have to see him coming out of the surf in swim trunks like Obama, or even riding a bike like Dubya. I'm pretty sure of that.
