National Review's Jim Geraghty links to
this really contrived claim that “whitey” is really just an innocently contracted “why’d he.”
So the progressive spin here is that their Harvard-grad future First Lady is so oblivious that she’s capable of unknowingly using a phrase with a provocative second meaning – at least four times. In the face of what must have been a dead giveaway reaction from her audience. Uh-huh. And if she paged “Mike Hunt” four times and provoked titters and whispers, she’d still keep cluelessly calling for him.
Sorry, I’m not buying it that Michelle Obama is that unintelligent, no matter what her “defenders” want you to believe about her IQ.
Another point – note how the goalposts are again being moved in Obama’s favor. When this rumor first started, it was a scurrilous lie. Now the spin is that it’s true but inaccurate – the logical corollary to the left’s other favorite half-truth. But there’s no apology being issued to those who were accused of being liars under the former policy of stout denial. Being an Obamiac means never having to say you’re sorry.
