President Obama was witty and entertaining on last night’s Leno appearance, and what’s the upshot? He’s forced to apologize for a self-deprecating, throwaway line comparing his bowling performance to the Special Olympics.
Obama sure is lucky he didn’t compare his basketball prowess to that of short people. Otherwise, I might have to sue him.
This calls for a limerick, don’t you think?
Ode To The Easily Offended
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There are people quite readily stressed
And appalled by the innocent jest.
Our problems are great,
Yet they’re often irate
Over nonsense. Is umbrage their quest?
