It’s OK to call President Obama a liar.
Leonard Pitts, current Reigning Elder of the Church of the Perpetually Outraged, speaking ex cathedra from the ossuary of “Non-malodorous fecal matter syndrome”, gave his imprimatur in yesterday’s Miami Herald.
HE called him a liar.
In a lateral Arabesqued nuance, a move perfected by card carrying modern American Liberals, Pitts said he wasn’t as upset with the Dear Leader lying as he was with him soiling the cultivated image of him “not being just another President”.
He ends his column, not by chastising President B.O. for, you know what I’m saying, lying, but rather for not doing a better job of it.
“Liar, liar, pants on fire” no longer has the euphonic ring of truth to it.
His mention of “torpid prose” cannot go unchallenged.
He ends a particularly mournful, I dare say lachrymose, sentence by saying that despite the constant pounding of the vile, rat bastard Republicans – Is there any other kind? – Obamacare “remains popular with nearly half the American public”.
Would it make me a Robert Byrd wanabee, a Strom Thurmond acolyte or, worse, a lout in thrall to the hated Tea Party if I were to point out that, using his math, more than half the American public thinks it sucks?
Alas, it’s a risk that I willingly assume.

PS – If it’s OK to call him a liar how much longer will it be before we call him a lying Son of a Bitch? Once we cross that threshold we need not fear the dreaded Word Police if we point out the obvious. The 400 pound gorilla, sitting Canute-like by the incoming tide, despite all that Ivy League buffing, is a dumb ass lying Son of a Bitch.
