Just because it bears repeating.


Remember this gem from SDC Nation?



Oh, look ... reality (emphasis tail-waggingly added):

WASHINGTON – After the flub heard around the world, President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office. Again. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath to Obama on Wednesday night at the White House — a rare do-over. The surprise moment came in response to Tuesday's much-noticed stumble, when Roberts got the words of the oath a little off, which prompted Obama to do so, too.

So it's true -- all conservatives really are illiterate. I have a data point of one to prove that.

OK, now I have two data points (emphasis added):

President Obama retakes the oath of office after his well publicized flub yesterday.

Blogging Tory Alberta Ardvark: Dishonest or just depressingly stupid? You make the call.

BONUS DOUCHEBAGITUDE: What's particularly amusing is that the very article to which AA links contains the snippet:

As specified in the US Constitution, the word "faithfully" precedes the phrase "execute the office," but the chief justice, in his first presidential inauguration, read that part of the oath incorrectly.

Obama paused, apparently realizing something was wrong, and after an awkward moment, Roberts repeated himself, but the chief justice stumbled again. Obama eventually recited the line as Roberts originally said it.

In other words, AA -- having read that article -- knows exactly what happened, but chose to lie about it. No big deal. He's a Blogging Tory. It's what they do.

I keep telling Hunter that but she just screams, "Latte drinking, elitist lefties..."

On Monday, she was talking about duel passports...

Truly pathetic, disgustingly hypocritical lumps of human garbage.

Didn't he have to retake the oath on the Koran? :)

It's noted right in the article the Albetarded Armadillo linked to:

"As specified in the US Constitution, the word "faithfully" precedes the phrase "execute the office," but the chief justice, in his first presidential inauguration, read that part of the oath incorrectly."

Too stupid to live.

TG:

I actually added my bonus snark before reading your comment. Really. Great minds think alike.

Or is it, fools seldom differ? I always get those two confused.

Awwww, SQ beat me to it. The report is that Obama did not have the Bible handy when he took the "real" oath. So the inquiring minds will say "I knew it, no Bibles allowed in the Oval Office". And "if he didn't use a Bible, what DID he use?" And I'm sure it will be reported that he actually said "So help me Allah" and the MSM terrorist conspirator witnesses are not reporting it...
