No prompter, no brains ..Oprompter compares his bowling acumen to Speical Olympics

I'm sure somewhere out on the ice Sarah Palin is taking target practice. Can you imagine her thoughts this morning. Or what George Bush is thinking about the reaction if HE had said this?

President Obama Jokes About Being a Bad Bowler: 'It's Like the Special Olympics'

March 19, 2009 8:56 PM

The first appearance by a sitting president on "The Tonight Show" may well end up being the last.

President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.

Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.

He bowled a 129, the president said.

"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.

It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said.

When asked about the remark, the White House said the president did not intend to offend.

Oh and by the way, I can't dance or jump.

But Oprompter and his ilk (anyone remember Biden and the 7-11?) are excused while they wipe the drooling from the press off of them.
