garbagecanmusic ]: Despite taking a second oath, Obama is still not the president because he didn’t have his hand on a Bible the second time. So says Matt Drudge and Bloggers.
Christ, they’re going to do this for the entire four years, aren’t they?
To be fair, I thought for sure that they were going to resort to pointing out that the Ihtzak Perlman/Yo Yo Ma performance wasn’t actually played live. Which would mean Ashlee Simpson is president now. Or something.
Not that any of this matters. The same people who believe that you actually have to swear on a Bible to legally be president (fun fact: YOU DON’T) also believe he’s a non-US citizen who was sworn into the Senate on a Koran and will make Christianity, heterosexuality and the English language illegal before summer, and anyone who says otherwise is a goddamn liberal fool.
Good times. And why not? You didn’t think these people were going to just go away and wait for 2012, did you? Not with Clear Channel paying Rush Limbaugh $38 million a year from now to 2016 to encourage them.
I’d complain, but I’m too big a fan of outlandish conspiracy theories.
FUN FACT: There is also no constitutional requirement that the person taking the presidential oath say “so help me God” at the end.
FUN FACT: John Adams was sworn in with his hand on a book of laws.
Raise yr right hand,
This is dF

Maybe we should ask that Supreme Court guy who swore him in - twice...
