Quote from bugscoe:
The best part of here slip, was that it opened the door for her to hammer both Obama's slips and the media's bias in one fell swoop. Say what you will about her, but this is fantastic!
From her Facebook page:
âThanksgiving Message to All 57 Statesâ.
My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate â from the FBIâs 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israelâs. And letâs face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I donât know what the term is in Austrian for thatâ¦
Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didnât have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you canât remember hearing about them, thatâs because for the most part the media didnât consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe â even news anchors.
Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldnât resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline.
