"One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world -- Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard." –mispronouncing "Corpsman" (the "ps" is silent) during a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, D.C., Feb. 5, 2010 (The Corpsman's name is also Christopher, not Christian)

Must be real smart.

I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you're providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy." —on Wall Street reform, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010 There's a great one, guess who. I guess an occasional "slip" can be expected? What is amusing though is the fact that people are now waiting in anticipation of “what will be the next gaffe?” any of the 3 GOP Presidential contenders will elicit as soon as their mouths starts to open. Let’s not forget the material that gives high rating for Bill Maher & Jon Stewart. What’s more amazing is the fact that the last place GOP candidate is the smartest. _________________________ How can you have a war on terrorism when war itself is terrorism? Howard Zinn
