All US Media Essentially A High School Paper
As has been widely reported, Mike Huckabee made the unforgiveable
mistake of getting Ronald Reagan's birthday wrong at the 3rd
republican presidential debate. He identified June 5 as the former
president's brithday, when - in fact it is the anniversary of the day
he died. Whoa, talk about career ending gaffe.
Huckabee remarked about the confusion "Actually it was the date of his
death and not his birth, and just an absolute error on my part." An
absolute error. He jokingly added that he "can take [his] medicine
and try not to make the same [mistake] twice."
I wonder if that medication is also the cause of his position on
evolution - which the governor does not believe in. His big mistake
was getting demigod Reagan's birthday wrong - not that he disavows
science altogether.
The media likes to jump on such ridiculous stories.
No mention at abcnews of Mitt Romney's assertion that Iraq refused to
allow UN inspectors into the country - an act of defiance which Romney
further explains justified the invasion. Of course, the simplest
google search will reveal that Saddam did allow Hans Blix unrestricted
access, but the ever-amnestic government-sponsored US media seems to
have forgotten about that.
Get Reagan's brithday wrong, and you are laughed out of Washington.
Nevermind that Reagan probably wouldn't have known himself. Get basic
facts relating to the worst military mistake in the modern era, and
the news will turn a blind eye. If that's our perfect system, then I
am moving to Iraq.
