President Obama goes off the teleprompter again (I hope!):
“There’s something about August going into September — where everybody in Washington gets all wee-weed up,” the president said yesterday to a gathering of Democratic Party activists. (Spelling in that quote is courtesy of the official White House transcription.)
The crowd laughed. “I don’t know what it is,” the president added, to more laughter. “But that’s what happens.”
So, uh, what does that mean? Robert Gibbs has to uncork the omnipotent clarity to explain this one:
“I think ‘wee-wee’d up’ is when people get nervous for no particular reason,” Gibbs said. . .
As for the president’s colorful phrasing, Gibbs said, “‘Bed wetting’ would be the more consumer-friendly term.”
If the comedians can’t get any material from this, we’ll know they’re completely in the tank.
