Yes, we can.

Obvious photoshop (look at the chord). And amusing kind of.

Google shows the photos first going around in April so this one is probably from Clinton supporters though it has recently been revived by Sean Hannity.)


ETA: Here's the original unaltered photo. The clock is completely photoshopped in as well.

Here's a similar idea with slightly better photoshopping (but only slightly) from 2005:

oops!

Funny, but I don't think it's anything major....Biden was out campaigning and asked a wheelchair bound man to stand up and be recognized. Oops! But a funny oops. At least I think so. Something tells me if Palin did this some people on this site would be talking about how oblivious and callous she was, but that's another issue all together.

Not to slam you in particular, scaeagles, but I'm getting tired of one side telling a stupid story about a politician that they don't like, with the added "I'll bet if this happened to the politician I like, the other side wouldn't be as cool as me." As far as I'm concerned, you're spreading the story - in just as slimy a way as you imagine the "other side" would.

Both sides do it. I call shenanigans.

I said I thought it was funny and no big deal.

I also posted this about the time I read a different poster post an unsubstantiated rumor about Palin referring to Obama as "Sambo" and to Hillary as "that b!tch". So actually, I stand completely by what I said. I didn't say he did anything wrong at all or call him callous or stupid because I don't think he is. The pattern here lately with some posters, particularly when it comes to Palin, is to never give the benefit of the doubt. I did. Some others are not. Which is why I said "some posters on this site" and not "every left leaning person on this board would jump on the opportunity to use it against Palin to say she's stupid".

And your point is...?

Look, she's a "heartbeat away from the presidency"--given the things that are coming out about her (and no, I don't mean things uttered at a Denny's), I am not about to give her a micron of benefit. Sorry.

PS: Gorsh speaking of funny, isn't it funny how some Republicans are treating her all special-like, almost like um... a celebrity?

And since Obama would actually be in the Presidency, I would guess that means he should be given even less of a benefit of a doubt than Palin.

I'm sorry if I don't give Palin the benefit of the doubt, but she rubs me the wrong way. Meaning, alas, she will be president of the United States when McCain is elected and then dies in office.

Query: If it turns out she did say it, and this is the first I've heard of it, would your response be

1) Ewww, or

2) Jesus Christ, people, have a sense of humor, or

3) That's nothing compared to what the Democrats say about the oil companies.

Definitely 1. No doubt. Nothing funny about it, so defintely not 2. While I would consider 3 in the back of my mind, 3 has nothing to do with race, so that would go out the window quickly.

Edited to add: I don't mean to ignore the supposed reference to Hillary. There is also no room for that, either, whether in a campaign or in real life, and references like that real do downgrade what I think of the person.

Good god... perhaps it is really true, 2012 really WILL be the end of the world.

My head hurts.
