SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER

It is so like our president that he had this to say about a Saudi blogger who wrote about the religious police and who was sentenced to 10 years in jail and 1000 lashes by the harsh rulers of Saudi Arabia where, by the way, the knig* died yesterday.

"As a leader, he was always candid and had the courage of his convictions," President Obama said in a statement.

The new king is said to be batshit crazy and suffers from dementia and Alzheimers so he will blend seamlessly into Saudi society and lead them brilliantly into the 31st year of the 8th century.

Can't you see the ringtone with wrinkled brow trying to pen a word or two in tribute to the Saudi king and coming up with, 'courage of his convictions.' That's a seminal moment. Imagine, a total autocrat and ruler somehow scrounging up the courage to support his convictions.

*knig is the term for a Saudi ruler who imprisons bloggers and has them whipped to death.
