As Twitchy reported, pathetic liberals tried to explain away President Obama’s “latte salute” with a “gotcha” photo of President Bush saluting while holding a dog. Sally Kohn offered this “giant AHEM”:

@sallykohn It's poor form, but note that he didn't salute with the dog in his saluting hand. @gatewaypundit @HarrietBaldwin

@sallykohn As a vet I know saluting is sometimes awkward but at least Bush cleared his right hand. (Also, it was a dog, not Starbucks.)

@sallykohn Of course you do. The difference being an effort to salute vs. a couldn’t-care-less moment.

.@sallykohn Yes, carrying a living thing is the exact same thing as a coffee cup. AHEM. @gatewaypundit

@sallykohn Interesting that you have such a reflexive need to defend Obama that you dig up a Bush photo that is not even comparable.

@AnthonyBialy obama's wasn't even a salute – it was a half assed blow off. But Booosh! @sallykohn @gatewaypundit

What about it? GWB was charming and respectful, Obama was contemputous. @sallykohn @gatewaypundit

@sallykohn You're comparing apples 2 oranges. We are all well aware of Obama's EXTREME disdain for U.S. military. @gatewaypundit

@sallykohn Ya got more, Sally? Got any of a Marine holding an umbrella for Bush? I didn't think so. @gatewaypundit
— H. L. Chiselfritz (@RotNScoundrel) September 24, 2014
Excuse me, @sallykohn, do you even know what it is to render a proper salute or why one does? To show respect. Obama has no respect. None.

Maybe Bush himself could school her on that.
When considering today's #LatteSalute please also factor this in: @jrsalzman @exjon @Cameron_Gray @jimgeraghty pic.twitter.com/rsK6z0DnRz
