For those who also never heard the word "flip" used as an adjective:


marked by casual disrespect; "a flip answer to serious question"; "the student was kept in for impudent behavior"

I prefer flippant.

It was more in the line of stupidity.

It was more in the line of stupidity.

And, sadly, even more along the lines of what I have come to expect from Senator Obama.
