Someone should make sure he never talks in public without a teleprompter unless he absolutely has to.

definitely looking forward to the fake outrage

What did he actually say that is causing controversy?

Stone shouldn't start threads unless he actually has something to say.

Well, did you see him bowl?

I think he's got a point.

Fortunately or Unfortunately, that's the way real people talk.

It should endear him to the common people.

But he the presdint!

It would have been better if he did the tongue-hanging-out-and-bent-wrist-double-tap-against-the-chest-like-HandiMan thing when he said it.

shoulda pulled a retard face.

I knew that comment was going to get him. I thought he was great either way.

BLAMA REED CHAKZY!

UR MY FAVRIT

the amewican people suppoht my stimuwus!

he should come out and say "i shouldn't have said that, it was totally gay"

Ha ha.

Oh god, you know this is all Rush, O'Reilly and Hannity are going to be talking about today... Im ashamed even you guys mentioned it. Other than that comment which I didnt really notice, I thought the interview went great, hes an extremely likable guy.

Olbermann was the first one to mention it.

My little brother got fired from his retard-caring job after apologising during a meeting for "talking like a retard" because he had just came from the dentist and was all numb.

My friend is a carer. He says there is a hierarchy among the mentally handicapped and the slightly less severely handicapped get ripped into the others and call them everything under the sun, and then those guys slag off the ones worse than them. Apparently the chief way of spending the day for the mentally handicapped is giant arguments about who or who isn't a a spastic and who the biggest spastic is.

Oh, the carers refer to themselves as 'spaz shepherds'.

I was a residential counselor at a group home in the late 80's and early 90's and can attest to the fact that mentally retarded adults are not always nice to one another. Cruel, sometimes, actually.

You've got a stop watch? Actually the White House apology was the first one to "mention it."

Well, Olberman mentioned it before it even aired on the Tonight Show because he had watched the taping...did the White House apologize before say, 8:45pm EST on Thursday?

with something like this I try to think how I and or the media would respond if Bush had said it, and i would probably respond, "god, Bush is such a retard"

As far as the media, they probably would call him insensitive and move on, i think for something like this Obama gets held to a higher standard because they expect more sensitivity out of him. But all in all it's just good publicity for the Special Olympics and bowling.
