Krauthammer killing with sardonic wit, as usual.

Media Matters and Michael Moore are worried that Fox News may have deliberately erased purportedly resounding applause for President Obama’s recent commencement address at West Point.

In support of all their crazy talk, they offer the White House’s video of the speech (which shows cadets clapping around the 10:26 to 10:30 point of the video). In doing so, neither Media Matters nor Michael Moore offer the inverse of their possible conspiracy theory (i.e., that the White House edited in stock footage of cadets clapping in order to fill a momentary, yet potentially embarassing, teleprompter pause by the President).

Of course, I’m not saying that either occurred. In fact, I’m saying that I really could not care less. But neither theory is any more or less plausible than the other. Yet another great try by Media Matters and Michael Moore attempting to manufacture a story out of something that really could not be less interesting.

Besides, after Obama’s last visit to West Point, would it be any surprise if the applause was tepid?

“wow.”

The scary thing about this ad is that I don’t know whether Republican marketing teams will no longer be fearful of presenting inevitably controversial advertisements…or if we’ve reached the “If you can’t beat them, join them” point of dealing with Democrat operatives.

By the way, if you would like to read more about the candidate in the ad, feel free to visit Les Phillip’s website.

Here’s a great clip of Frank Caliendo’s latest appearance on Glenn Beck’s radio show, discussing the progression of Caliendo’s impersonation of Beck.

I’m sorry to my liberal friends, but this is simply another example in my book of why I’m conservative. While we’re considered so up-tight and straight laced, the bottom line is that we know how to take a joke. Dennis Miller used to have a bit about how it irked him when Dana Carvey would make fun of him with an impersonation…but that deep down he thought it was hysterical–even if only because he “completely fucking idolized himself.” Who cares about the reason? We can take jokes better than liberals…who when made fun of respond like this:
