Somethings never "change"

The former VP is the gift that keeps on giving for the Democrats.

"Former Vice President Dick Cheney confused the president of the United States with the world's most-wanted terrorist in a speech on Monday.

Speaking at the National Press Club, Cheney answered a question as to why his administration had not caught Osama bin Laden. But in a faux pas certain to end up on cable news networks and late-night talk shows, Cheney transposed bin Laden's name with that of the current president.

"'The important thing is that I don't think he can have much impact in terms of managing an organization, because that link between Obama [sic] and the people under him is pretty fragile. I don't think he has the capacity to do as much harm as he did at one point, but we ought to still continue to chase him.'"

Was it a freudian slip..... ;-)

I'm not sure but the way things have been going lately, maybe it should have been. I'm sure either way he will be hammered for the slip by the main stream media even though it is very apparent what he meant to say. We all make mistakes and misspeak on occasion but anyone in the public eye will always be pummeled one way or another.

Agreed, but some are truly funny depending on the speaker, persona, and former status. The current VP falls in that group too so it's good to keep both sides "honest."

Will do!

To be fair, here's another much more important quote from the same speech that will likely be ignored by the left and the right just to give him a hard time on the slip.

"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone,” Cheney said, The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein reports. “As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish.”

Sen. Kennedy did the same thing last summer.......it was funny, actually.

I have to stop and consider our President's name - it's different. And, there's nothing wrong with that.......I knew a man in my home town who had three sur names......was confusing.
