Obama, Sarah Palin and The Great Umbrella Hypocrisy
A new, fourth, bigger-than-Watergate scandal has come up to end a fabulous week.
It’s Umbrellagate, the uproar over President Obama’s asking Marines to hold umbrellas for him and for Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Rose Garden.
The Internet lit up as the controversy unfolded.

It is never too late for her and other conservative nutbars to learn what those words mean and start having some actual values. Male Marines are not allowed to carry umbrellas for themselves ( a strange policy which no one can really explain or justify), but they do have to follow orders of the commander-in-chief regardless of party.
