“verbal typos” ? Joe Biden must be the biggest buyer of verbal White Out.

“Ten thousand people died and an entire town destroyed.” – And I suppose the word “thousand” was a “verbal typo”?

I don’t know what’s not to get here, my dear Republican citizens. If you don’t see the distinctions between the Dem gaffes and the Rep gaffes, then how are we going to roll back the party from its Pat-Robertson-University present to its Goldwater past?

This is a tired person with a slip of the tongue.

This is a person explaining the way FDR immediately used the medium of the day — albeit radio instead of television — to stay in contact with America.

…

What’s different about the Palin statements that she “knows foreign policy because Putin flies over Alaska airspace while on the way to Washington” is that she pressed her case with variations of that same statement. It was not a slip of the tongue. It was the outright stupidity of a poorly educated person.

On her “reading material”, she was pressed in a very polite manner and given plenty of opportunity to elaborate. She chose not to do that and chose not to explain why either.

…

Basically, you could describe Biden’s and Obama’s errors as “verbal typos” and describe Palin’s gaffes as “defining her”.

I have to say your post yesterday about Bush’s approval rating within the GOP:

“It raises the question: Short of being caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl, what does President Bush need to do for this group to disapprove of his performance? Is there anything?”

You’ve stooped to new low levels with that question. WTF were you thinking when you wrote that? You do a wonderful job with the site, and I am sure you spend alot of time with the site to make it what it is today. But that BS has got to stop.

see: ” I beg leave to consider the circumstances of the Union antecedent to the meeting of the Convention at Philadelphia. We have been told of phantoms and ideal dangers to lead us into measures which will, in my opinion, be the ruin of our country. If the existence of those dangers cannot be proved, if there be no apprehension of wars, if there be no rumors of wars, it will place the subject in a different light, and plainly evince to the world that there cannot be any reason for adopting measures which we apprehend to be ruinous and destructive.”

Grayson was, hardly, the First to recognize that ‘Phantoms’–of any Stripe, anywhere Found–were, mere, tools to lever the Minds of the Cowed..

Or other phantoms; perhaps the hatred and fear-mongering of a commie behind every tree, WMDs, and the ever present possibility of a terrorist attack?

Tom,

I hear your point, and with that, no doubt..

Though, keep in mind the usefulness of “The Two-Minutes Hate”–there’s little better, for distraction, than working up a Froth over Phantoms–the Past, another Path..

With that, wide coverage of a list, like yours, would startle the herd, keep them from their contented cud-chewing and soft-mooing, and runs the risk of, further, decreasing Milk output..

We know our Shepherds hate that S*it.
