A reader tells us,

Last night I had the “pleasure” of watching the Kids’ Inaugural Concert. At one point, Jamie Foxx came out to stir the crowd up a bit. Included in his monologue was a history lesson. He said that today was the anniversary of JFK’s inaugural address — which included the famous line, “Ask now what your country can do for you . . .”
But Foxx got the line backward, repeatedly. He even asked the obviously confused crowd to help him finish it: “Ask not what you can do for your country [holding the mike out to the crowd], but what your country can do for you.”
I guess we can give him the benefit of the doubt here, but how he said the line probably sounded correct to him. Hilarious, and pretty indicative of the modern liberal mindset.
Change has arrived!

Kind of reminds me of how Al Gore mistranslated “E pluribus unum.” (He said, “Out of one, many,” which is very definitely a modern American motto.) By the way, one of the most graceful replies I ever heard came from Ted Sorensen, when he was asked whether he had written JFK’s inaugural: “Ask not.”

Ah, one more thing: With all the bailouting going on, it seems like everyone’s asking what his country can do for him . . .
