Every time I think Mitch McConnell is the king of hypocrisy, Newt Gingrich shows up to challenge the crown. Last week, with his pants on, the Newtster lambasted Obama for filling out his NCAA brackets instead of leading our country.
What you may or may not remember is that our previous president (for better or for worse) was on vacation more than any president before him. He was at his "ranch"* in Crawford when the FBI came by to give him the CIA assessment that bin Laden was "determined to strike the U.S." and with his smirky frat boy manner, sent the man away after saying, "you can go now, you've covered your ass." (Because that's what true leadership is all about, covering your ass).
I never heard a peep out of Republicans during the 8 years of absentee leadership.
But you let one scary Negro Kenyan Muslim take five minutes to fill out a bracket and we could have been hit by them Rooskies, or something. Geeeeze!
*( I put ranch in quotation marks because its the only ranch I've heard of without horses. Former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, once said in an interview that when "W" visited him in Mexico, he had a surprise horseback ride lined up. When Fox brought out the horse for W, he said there was the unmistakable look of fear in Georgie's eyes, and the ride was canceled. I know of no reason for Mr. Fox to lie about the story.)
