Bizarro land - Michelle O.'s anti-obesity program causes pedestrians death.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-11 03:43 PM by Mass
Uh! Really? Here is the whole story.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/01/safety_group_accidentally_touches_off_accusations.php?ref=fpb

and the excerpt from the Daily Caller.

Here's how the Daily Caller put it:

Pedestrian deaths increased sharply during the first half of 2010, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA). On Wednesday, the Executive Director of the GHSA accused the first lady's obesity program of causing the deaths by encouraging people to exercise.


(Note, the Exe. Director says she obviously never said that.

3. The RW has completely lost it.
How the hell can the Daily Caller run a headline like that and expect to have any credibility?

4. I recall a Heinlein novel w/ "The Crazy Years"
that term seems quite apt and fits well.

5. This has to be one of the most absurd twists I've seen in a long time.
