Boy, the press can really do the nitty-gritty detail work (also saved here target="blank") when they set their minds to it (graphics at right via West Coast Outpost):

As Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey’s Hot Air has pointed out at his running commentary, this fawning would be a bit more palatable if the Left, including leftist commentators and comedians, hadn’t gasped at and ridiculed George W. Bush hitting a golf shot after speaking of the War on Terror. Do you think Jon Stewart, who thought the golf shot vid was so funny, will find "humor" in the Obamas’ ice cream outing?

Meanwhile, Morrissey notes "The latest unverified/rumored death toll is 150. In other news, Obama ordered a small cup of vanilla" (Twitter death toll link corrected by me).

Patterico has compared the tweets from Tehran with those from White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who was on Ice Cream Watch Duty tonight.

Exit question: Who believes that the video of a dying woman Morrissey is carrying at Hot Air (WARNING: Very graphic; direct link here) will appear on an establishment media web site?
