Plus We Have a Motorcade [Thursday, March 13, 2014, 1st period]
"Right," Josh began, sipping from his coffee. "This week the right wing has decided to clutch their pearls and wail over the dignity of the Presidency and how that has been lost because President Obama went onto a web comedy to promote his health care initiative. In case you haven't seen it--" he turned on the video.
"Bill O'Reilly went so far as to say: 'All I can tell you is Abe Lincoln wouldn't have done it.' Putting aside the fact that television, webisodes and electricity hadn't really become things when Abe Lincoln was president and that Bill O'Reilly is a pompous jackass...do you think he had a point? Do Presidents appearing on talk shows--Nixon did 'Laugh In', Clinton went on Arsenio Hall and played the saxophone, Obama's been on pretty much every late night show that currently exists--lessen the dignity of the office? Does the office need dignity?"
