6. Why do you call him a "Dumbass"?

Ted's fought the good fight from way back when. So he mis-spoke? Who's perfect? Bush?

[tk2kewl]

11. i am not bashing him, Octa-EvilBastard...

ummm, I mean Octafish.

[Octafish]

33. self delete

self delete

didn't see what happened above. sorry.

[Stephanie]

34. I don't know if you bashed TK but you're definitely bashing Octafish

So knock it off. That's not cool.

[electric-eye]

36. no call for that

I believe that kind of stuff is forbidden here.

[tk2kewl]

39. Appologies if that was taken wrong

was just making a point. it is a major faux pas to accidently call someone the name of an evil bastard. if it wasn't clear that i dont think you are evil, i certainly don't

[Generic Other]

7. Obama bin Laden?

Oh well. I am always slipping and saying Saddam Bush when I mean gawddamn Bush. :)

[Maven]

10. lol, i feel better now, thanks n/t

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

12. Yeah, but Saddam and Bush BOTH suck.

There's a big difference. :-)

[ChairOne]

15. motherfucking gaybashing biblethumping bigots.....

.... Oops - my bad - I mean "values voters"....

Happens to everybody...

[Pirate Smile]

8. I was listening and I didn't hear it.

Maybe because I'm making lunch too.

[tridim]

9. At least he didn't mix up Osama with Saddam like BushCo

and the Bushbots do.

[Cha]

13. Good one!

And how did he "mix them up"? Call Barack..Barack osama?

[fob]

17. I didn't hear this one but I still remember his tribute to Mark McGuire

and Sammy Sosa during their heated home run race a few years back.

Ted: ...Mike Aguire and Sammy Sooser...

[Yupster]

25. My favorite one

Dave Winfield's going way back, back, back to the wall, he jumps, and hits his head on the wall, it's rolling toward second base.

[Sacajawea]

38. You made me LOL, Yupster! Thanks for that!

[demnan]

16. Teddy's getting kind of old

Is it just me or do you all think there should be an age limit in the Senate?

[Cha]

18. Anyone can mix up those names..

I was thinking about Obama the other month..and found myself saying "osama" and corrected myself.

We have had osama in our psyche for 3 years and now there's an Obama!

[Midlodemocrat]

20. Plus, he just lost his sister.

Maybe he was just plain tired.

[MemphisTiger]

21. I'm sure the repubs will jump all over this

if one of ours mispeaks it's some deep dark conspiracy, but if another Bushism occurs, he's just plain spoken. Their hipocrisy knows no end

[Maven]

24. that's kinda what i was getting at. n/t

[Psephos]

23. Slip of the tongue, like happens to everyone else. No harm. n/t

[joanski01]

26. Dammit! Ted Kennedy did NOT slip up.

The atmosphere there was very informal and Ted was obviously making a joke. It was a good one too.

[ChairOne]

29. Can you re-create the funny part for those of us....

... who didn't catch it on tv?

[stray cat]

27. As long as he doesn't follow up by invading IL.

[metisnation]

35. let them try and invade IL

over my dead body! I will fight to the death for my home no questions without hesitation

:dem:
:kick:

Don't tread on me!

[JaneQPublic]

28. Big deal. I keep mixing up George W. Bush and Adolph Hitler (nt)

[saltpoint]

31. Wait...

You mean they're two separate people?

[karlrschneider]

32. Ain't no thang. At the elec. college vote the other day, the guy who

wasn't Hair Helmet Lott (forget his name) said "the state of (one of them) gives x many votes to John F. Kenned...uh, Kerry"

[barb162]

37. that's not too bad, Obama jokes about his name "Osama Obama"

and "Obama bin Laden" and things like that. I voted for him here in IL and he takes these things very well and is quite accustomed to many people screwing up his name.
