Did I hear this correctly? Former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah “Barracuda” Palin made some snarky remark about the Marines shielding President Obama from rainfall during his joint press conference the Turkish prime minister?

The comments had something to do with the president “disrespecting” the Marines who held the umbrellas over his head and that of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan.

Holy … mackerel!

What in the bleeping world have we come to here?

Palin and some other folks currently and formerly associated with the Fox News Channel said the president should have gone inside rather than ask the Marine guards to perform such a menial task.

Have these folks ever done this before? My guess: Uh, yes, plenty of times.

But now that we have all these social media outlets to vent such pettiness, we’re getting a snootful from the right-wingnuts who think they’ve got yet another “scandal” to hang on the guy they despise with such passion.

Pitiful.
