He didn't make fun of the special olympics, he just liken his bowling score to "qualify" him for the special olympics. No different than something any of us might have said if we were joking around. You sure like to pole vault over mouse turds, don't you?

I'm not going to defend his Iranian video. I suspect someone in the State Department thought this would be a "shout out" to the younger Iranian people who use the net as their main source of information. My understanding is that a lot of Iranian citizens are actually favorable to the US because they like our culture. A lot of them have family here too. But since the fundamentalists and jihadists like to put forth video to reach their audience, I'm not sure if it is a bad thing or a good thing to try it.

I'm also mixed on his late night talk show appearance. I'm sure his target audience is a younger group that stays up late to watch those shows. I don't think it "debases" the Presidency -- he's an elected official, not the King. I'm sure they did some political polling beforehand that indicated that a particular demographic would be favorable to that format. It's just his style. I don't really see it as much different than reporters following Bush around on his Mountain Bike or as he is chopping wood on his ranch. Just a different style.
