Michelle Malkin, you are a delight. You’ll recall that earlier, Paul Mirengoff of Powerline took Convention analysis to new heights with his genius evaluation of Senators Obama and McCain post-speech behavior. Malkin, not to be outdone, see’s Mirengoff’s analysis and raises: she see’s an important difference between the Senators based on…..how they laid their roses at a memorial at Ground Zero. Here’s Malkin:
It’s a small gesture, but gestures matter at the hallowed grave site of so many murdered innocent Americans.
Barack Obama flings a memorial rose at Ground Zero like he’s a kid tossing pennies into a fountain at the shopping mall — or a spectator tossing flowers at a bullfight.
He doesn’t know what he’s doing.
(Clueless NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg copies him.)
By contrast, John McCain and his wife kneel and gently, somberly, place their roses down at the foot of the 9/11 tribute.
Tons of you e-mailed me about this. Here’s the vid for the rest of you who didn’t see it. It’s a telling cultural and generational distinction between these two men vying to be commander-in-chief of our nation
She then goes on to provide, I kid you not, two, count’em, two different videos of this. Am I crazy or is this most definitely not “a telling cultural and generational distinction between these two men”? Not to mention, what does Malkin even mean by “cultural” in that sentence? I get generational because McCain’s really old.
Heaven forbid you should think I’m being unfair to Ms. Malkin so here’s the dramatic video evidence, provided by Malkin herself. Judge for yourself.
Might as well stop the campaign now.
