Holy crap.

Our president just mentioned Palestine this morning!

Palestine!

Anyone listening to his policy speeches despaired that he could distinguish beyond Israel and the enemy of the month. But shock the monkey, he’s making an actual mid-east peace policy! Palestinians should stop their terror activities! Israel should stop their settlement activities! The clock should be reset to 1982!

Wow, will serious consideration of our long-standing mid-east peace proposal get us our mid-east war?

Are we further sure he doesn’t have an old schoolmate named Stine?

“Pal Stine and I are committed to working on a peace settlement in the Middle East.” Etc.
