Is there any chance that there is anyone else on the planet who has this much power, who is as willfully ignorant and woefully stupid as this idiot? Will the embarrassment ever stop? The only good to come from this is the commentary by pundits. ---

Found MANY cites from that ancient tale, and NONE for anything more recent. Raw Story (and perhaps their alter-ego AlterNet) seem to be the only sites carrying it at this late date. What’s up with that? Are there more sites picking up the story currently than just those two from earlier today?
