Heh, you all saw the latest brouhaha, Palin had a bracelet on that she said was in honor of her son's deployment to Iraq and some lefty started screeching about how the bracelets were for memorializing soldiers killed in action, not live soldiers.
Crooks and Liars piled on (link to Crooks and Liars for pointing and laughing purposes only, someone delete if it's against the rules like a Sully link).
Their conclusion?
Horrifying.

Then had to backtrack when the makers of the bracelet said, "Ummmm, those are for live soldiers, we sent one to Palin and one to Biden in the last election."
Read the whole, fairly short post and the update where they have to say, "Ummm, nevermind". They were in quite the lather until reality so rudely intruded.
Heh.
At least the post didn't go down the memory hole.
Via Just One Minute, he has a link to Huff Po's page with correction.
I'll save that link until tomorrow. It'll be a nice morning laugh.

And if someone wants to get OUTRAGED!!!!!1!! think about this
Why haven't we seen that bracelet on Joe Biden? Is he ashamed of his son deploying to Iraq?
I know I've been told I would never have to use a /sarc tag, but in case you can't tell,
/sarc

Biden can't outrage me, he can only make me cringe or laugh.

Update
I was going to say, "Read the comments" but there's a lot of hate and not a lot of humor.
One comment prays her son doesn't die because then she'd play the martyr, another replies to that comment by saying something about how Palin's hoping her son does die so she can use it politically.
