As I'm sure you know by now, President Obama made history AGAIN last night by being the first sitting prez to appear on The Tonight Show and making a wicked retahded crack comparing his bowling skills to a Special Olympian's.

While Mr. Obama's score has improved markedly from a few months ago — he claims to have recently bowled a 129, up from an abysmal 37 on the campaign trail — he's not quite up to Special Olympics standards yet.  If a cursory survey of Special Olympians' bowling scores from the most recent games in Plano, Texas are any indication of averages worldwide, Mr. Obama's score would not garner him any medals.  He's still got quite a ways to go before he's ready to compete in the Special Olympics, much less with the likes of Gold Medalist Lee Blakeman (see some of his sample scores above).

But even if he never gets there, the President can take heart from the motto of the Special Olympics: "Let me win but if I can not win let me be brave in the attempt."  As can we all.
