Scrivener’s Error

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

The President did not lie about letting people keep their health insurance. The problem is right-wing kooks keep mis-spelling the President’s carefully chosen words in their wicked efforts to confuse and panic the public. The whole thing was caused by a scrivener’s error.

“If ewe like their health insurance, ewe can keep it.”

Ewe are sheep. You are not a sheep. Therefore, you cannot keep your health insurance.

Don’t call the President a liar just because you can’t spell, you ignorant racissssssssss.

By the way, the problem of journalists not knowing how to spell is not a new problem. William F. Buckley, Jr., pointed it out when George Bush the Elder was in office. The President said:

“Read my lips, no gnu taxes.”

The President did not lie. Your gnu was not taxed. But Democrats pounded him for something he didn’t say and the media was too embarrassed to fess up to their stupid blunder in transcribing his remarks.

History is repeating itself on the other foot, with Obama in the crosshairs. Ha! About time.

And re Sarah Palin?

She was worried about “cross heirs” – peevish trust-fund babies.  Like our current governor.

It all makes sense now.

    You can keep your health insurance. No problem. Just notice that the insurance you have expires 12/31/2013. It’s yours, it’s just that the evil insurance company won’t give you care after that. Blame them!

    You can keep your doctor, too. Nowhere did O say that you couldn’t. You’ll just have to pay out of pocket for it.

    See how simple it is to make his words true? And see what simpletons we are for not understanding his plain words? We are not worthy of The Light Worker!
