Billie Jean King: Obama’s distortions are “cute”

By Michelle Malkin • August 13, 2009 10:21 AM

Rowdy town hall protesters, take note: Please do not correct the president’s faulty math. It’s rude. And un-American.

Instead, follow the cue of tennis player Billie Jean King and embrace Obama math as “adorable.”

This is the polite and patriotic thing to do.

Before presenting tennis legend Billie Jean King with the Medal of Freedom Wednesday, President Obama ticked off some of her accomplishments: 12 Grand Slam titles, 101 doubles titles, 67 singles titles.

“Pretty good, Billie Jean,” he quipped.

But he didn’t get any of it right, according to King herself.

“They didn’t get any of my facts right,” King lightheartedly noted afterward. “Did you see all the – how many titles I won? I was cracking up.”

“Not even in the ballpark,” she continued.

King found it amusing, and said her accomplishments on the court aren’t the most important.

“I thought it was adorable,” she said.

Watch the video at the link as she shrugs at the inaccuracies: “Who cares?”

And, I hope, cleaning the clock of Bobby Riggs.

Yeah…RIGHT! King winning an exhibition match between herself (who wasn’t even BORN when her opponent was at his BEST in 1939-41–King was born in 1943) and Bobby Riggs is deserving of having the highest civilian honor to be bestowed by the United States.

This is proof positive that there isn’t a properly-functioning cell in lgm’s brain. I’d say I’ve seen it all, but so long as lgm continues coming here and spewing hid idiocy, I’ll be sure to see more unimaginable nonsense.
