The American Pundit

Watch as the left slams her for being an idiot because she hung up on somebody fearing it was a prank. You know, after they slammed Palin for not hanging up on somebody because she didn’t think the call was a prank. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t…

In a series of hang-up and follow-up calls that appears to have taken up much of the afternoon, Ros-Lehtinen first received a call on her cell phone, from a Chicago phone number, and was informed by the caller that Obama wished to speak with her. When a man sounding like Obama got on the line, Ros-Lehtinen cut him off, saying, “I’m sorry, but I think this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks.” She then hung up, according to a statement issued by her office.

A little while later, Chief of Staff-designate Rahm Emanuel called the congresswoman back.

“Ileana, I cannot believe that you hung up on the president-elect,” Emanuel said, according to the congresswoman’s office.

Her response?

“Ros-Lehtinen told Rahm that she didn’t believe the call was legitimate and hung up on Emanuel,” her statement said.

Hey, Emanuel? Have Barry give me a call. I’ll hang up on him, too. Maybe we can do something about your disbelief.
