Thin Skinned One's Skin Gets Thick


The Emperor was slightly amused by the recent revelations of odd comments by Baron Reid of the Order of Donkeys concerning the Thin Skinned One. The Baron commented during the campaign a couple years ago on the electability of Obama due in part to his skin color and savvy speech patterns. The comments were slightly "off color" so to speak. The Order of the Elephants pounced on the comments like hobos on a hot dog and demanded that Baron Reid the "Out of Touch" resign his powerful position immediately citing double standards. But the Elephants could have saved their breath. The double standard for Elephants and Donkeys is well established and understood by the public. Had an elephant made the same comments, his hide would be hanging on the wall in the Senate chamber. Donkeys get a free pass and always will. The Thin Skinned One suddenly developed a thick skin of hypocrisy since the comments were made by a key member of the Donkey Order. The Emperor advises the Elephants to get over it and stop making it such a big issue. It is enough to point it out without belaboring it. Besides, the comments weren't that bad. Elephants should have not made a fuss over it, letting the media handle it. Elephants should have just smiled wryly and shaken their trunks in amusement when asked to comment. It is time for the Elephants to stop feigning indignation at every careless comment made. Let the Donkeys gnash their teeth and paint themselves as "thin skinned." They are better at it anyway.
