The tragedy of really poor reading comprehension

Riveting analysis from RightWing News:

I did not watch [Michelle Obama's] speech. There’s only so much pandering, lying, and patronizing I can take during an abortionfest. I did read the transcript this morning ... and it is interesting to note that very little was said during her speech about the private sector.

Mrs. Obama also said very little about quantum physics, the origins of the First World War, and French cooking.

Actually, though, the only deficiency here would seem to lie in the analyst's rather poor reading comprehension. A good half of Michelle Obama's speech was in reality devoted to the private sector's importance, although, true enough, she didn't spell it out for the far right in crayon. Business success and personal success and all the other private successes that, on frequent occasion, flower only because a supportive community--the public sector--was ready and available and willing to help? That was Mrs. Obama's point. But it was too subtle, I guess, for the "rational" crowd, who prefer their oratory straight(-armed), no chaser.

Maybe, Michelle should have used an empty high-chair.

Good one, Robert! Let's just consider the source: Right Wing News? IF you call a political convention "abortionfest" then you have officially fallen over the edge of sanity and should change your name to "Right Wing Nut News"
