There's been a bit of a kerfluffle among right wing bloggers because Obama said a couple of days ago that his great-uncle was part of the Army unit that liberated Auschwitz. He made a mistake because it was actually Buchenwald that his grandmother's brother had helped to liberate.

This caused the 'tards in the winger blogosphere to go nuts. First because Obama couldn't tell the truth and then - I shit you not - because they said Buchenwald wasn't really a concentration camp. It was a slave labor camp and that, to their sick reasoning, what happened there "was not historically abnormal in a time of war."

Therefore, Obama's great-uncle was the spiritual ancestor of John Kerry. Liberating a Nazi slave labor camp was nothing really.

How does Malkin come out of this looking good? By limiting her comments to this:

Apparently Obama’s remark about his uncle liberating Auschwitz was just a gaffe, and not a full-on lie. It was actually Obama’s great uncle, and he did not, in fact, liberate Auschwitz, but instead undertook a secret mission to Cambodia.

Seriously, though: here’s the Obamessiah advancing a new legislative initiative to take care of veterans with PTSD. Worthy cause. Probably worth a little research if you’re going to try to sell it.

I ripped Mike Huckabee a new one for publishing an article in Foreign Affairs that attributed a quote from The Godfather to Sun Tzu.

At the time, I surmised that it wouldn’t have been that big a deal had Huck just tossed that off in a stump speech instead of writing it in a major foreign policy magazine. So I’ll extend the same indulgence to Barry O.
Still as dumb as a bag of hammers, but it could have been worse.
