America Held Hostage (By Conservative Stupidity)
Unless you've been living under a rock you know about this.
It is, of course, great news. But it is also a time for the instant revisionism of the right.
Most of the past week I've been seeing blogs and Tweets by conservatives, including prominent ones like Michelle Malkin, brutally critiquing the Obama administration's supposed "limp-wristed"-ness (I'm quoting) on the hostage standoff. They have gone so far as to snarkily praise the French for storming their pirate situation, because, of course if the FRENCH have more COURAGE than the Americans do, we are ALL in big trouble.
The French also lost one of the hostages, "tragically." But at least they had the "good sense" to go in, guns blazing.
Fast forward to now.
It's Easter. Twitter is abuzz with the good news, conservatives "praise God" and the courage of the Navy Seals. Will they revise their feelings of how the OBAMA administration handled the situation?
Of course not. They are conservatives.
Time to find the next outrage!!! It's a new week, spring, Easter, REBIRTH, out with the OLD.
Correct me if I'm wrong but an unharmed hostage released seems to be a situation HANDLED correctly. Even the guys on 24 would agree.
But stay silent. I prefer to have my expectations challenged on TV. And if conservatives do anything, they always meet my expectations.

Think I'm kidding? Check out the inanity:
