US President Barack Obama, in a speech delivered to a special meeting of the UN General Assembly, is calling Lady Gaga’s rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner — in which she swapped the lyrics “home of the brave” for “home for the gays” — “reprehensible.”Shocking and momentous!
Hang on a sec, we may have misread...oh yeah, it wasn't anyone important saying anything important to anyone else important anywhere important, it was no-longer-a-congressman Allen West writing a Facebook post, which is something like what that guy in accounts payable who gets red-faced does. Except that guy in accounts payable has a useful day job.
In a Monday Facebook post, West wrote, “Having served in the US Army for 22 years alongside some very brave men and women, I find Lady Gaga's defiling of our National Anthem reprehensible.”West has apparently been hired by Fox News, so no wonder Facebook has given him a rare spot on its editorial page, the prestige of which outstrips even the mighty— oh forget it.
