lol, Hillary on CNN:

[Smith_3]

"I want my supporters to understand, what a big mistake it would be not to vote for John McCain ... uh, Barack Obama."

:rofl:

[AZSlacker]

1. Freudian slip perhaps?

[billyoc]

17. Jungian Slip. Freudian Slip would have to do with sex, IIRC.

:hi:

[crankychatter]

20. That's where you say ONE thing but MEAN....

your Mother

[LakeSamish706]

Are you serious? Damn, I wish she would get some sleep or something...

What the hell is wrong with her?

[crankychatter]

23. She doesn't enjoy her supporters threatening to vote for McCain...

...as far as I know.

[goclark]

55. She "slips" like this all the time

and she meant to say it just that way.

[DevonRex]

2. I caught that too and wondered why nobody said anything about

it at the time. Freudian slip? Not so Freudian? Not so much of a slip?

Or just got confused about the "not" thing?

[Colobo]

3. The woman is dead tired... I wanna think that's the reason...

[Smith_3]

4. I know. She sounded very rational in that discussion.

I just thought that was pretty funny.

[slinkerwink]

7. hopefully tired

[PADemD]

33. Hillary's biorhythms for today

Physically low (at bottom) and emotionally critical (judgment).

[Johnny__Motown]

14. she didn't make any other blunders....strange that the one slip up due to being tired was that one

[roguevalley]

44. she's fighting her disappointment and that came out.

[Johnny__Motown]

49. OR, she wants McCain to win so she can run against him in 2012

[Lerkfish]

28. better not call her at 3 am, then.

[ecstatic]

52. If this was an isolated incident, I too would give her the benefit of the doubt

But we have Bubba going around the country saying the GOP is more progressive than Democrats, and we have Mrs. Clinton on conference calls STILL trying to undermine our nominee's legitimacy. To give her the benefit of the doubt at this point would be incredibly naive.

She is campaigning for 2012. But if it comes to that, Mrs. Clinton better not think she can count on my vote!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

5. *wink*

Eta: I think the use of the negative("...it would be not to...") caused the slip.

[MH1]

39. Use of double, triple negatives

Am I the only one who wishes politicians would STOP saying things like "it would be a mistake not to"?

When they put too many negatives in a sentence no wonder they get confused.

It just annoys the hell out of me. "It would be a mistake to vote for McCain" makes so much more sense than "It would be a mistake not to vote for Obama", doesn't it?

/ pet peeve mini-rant. :)

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

53. By design.

Each time you cancel a word viable deniability is that much closer.

I don't not don't not mean what I'm not not saying in this post, disaffirmatively. :think:

[meow mix]

6. wow she really loves mccain so much, thats why she slipped like that

easy to do when she really feels that way.

[BattyDem]

8. Damn! I know she's tired, but ...

who else thinks that's going to end up as part of a McCain ad. Of course, the "uh, Barack Obama" part would be edited out. :(

[Kber]

12. no need to edit it out

they could keep it in and have an announcer / text scroll that says something like "Do you think she REALLY trusts Obama? Even Hillary isn't convinced you should vote democrat this year."

Writes itself.

[dailykoff]

9. Another Bushler moment.

Now watch this drive.

[greguganus]

10. She should do a video for McCain like the Obama Girl. n/t

[BlooInBloo]

54. That's clearly not an option;

[tabasco]

11. She's not a very good communicator.

[Yael]

13. I hope someone caught that for the YouTubes

[helderheid]

15. oh dear

[dailykoff]

16. Hillary proves what an AWESOME running mate she would be

for McCain.

[papau]

42. you do make it easier to stand on the side line and smile as Obama goes down in Flames

[dailykoff]

43. You don't need me when you've got Bill, Hill, Junior, Fox, and CNN

telling you how to vote. In fact you'd better turn on the set right now and see what Wolf wants you to think today.

[SoxFan]

45. Pizza time

[Cha]

47. hilary is so use to saying that it private she fucking slipped.

[Diamonique]

18. I don't think that there's anything to made of this.

She's tired. It was just a slip, like Obama talking about 57 states.

[Cha]

48. A little difference between 57 states and telling

your supporters to vote for mccain when she was the one who said mccain had more experience that Obama not that long ago.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. It got muddled between the brain and the mouth

I'm sure she meant to convey what a mistake it would be to vote for McCain and not to vote for Obama.

I hope it doesn't get picked up by the pundits.

[Apollo11]

21. I posted the relevant excerpt on the Political Videos Forum

You can find the video here:
www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x132451

The slip-up you all seem to find so hilarious is around 1:15 from the start.

You will notice that she IMMEDIATELY corrected herself and clarified her point.

If you take into consideration that this interview was done on wednesday - the day after the West Virginia primary - I think it is understandable that Hillary was somewhat tired.

If you want to see someone mis-speak, how about Obama's North Carolina victory speech - where he said that US energy policy is financing both sides of the war on terror?

[DevonRex]

24. Yes, she did correct herself immediately. That's why I didn't

ask about it here before. It's just one of those things that makes you go hmmm. That's all.

Nothing for anybody to fight about.

[Yael]

36. Thanks. This is definitely a non-issue...

[Aloha Spirit]

22. Wait, when was this? She did it two days ago also.

[dailykoff]

25. I'm sure it was all just a BIG misunderstanding.

Shame on you for brining it up.

:sarcasm:

[crankychatter]

26. it was just now on Russert... I can't watch it.... - n/t

.

[MindMatter]

35. So she made the same "mistake" on Wednesday and again on Sunday?

[crankychatter]

38. I'm just going by what I read upstream here... I don't know - n/t

.

[Inuca]

46. The re-ran the same interview n/t

[MindMatter]

50. I'm REALLY glad to hear that.

Because if she had made the same "mistake" twice, I think my head might have exploded.

One time can easily be explained as a slip of the tongue under the stress of campaigning. Twice cannot.

[Johnny__Motown]

27. The CNN interview was Wednesday, She said she won WV "yesterday" in it

[stewie502]

29. haha smooth move Hillary

she couldn't think during the interview because she was so tired from taking calls at 3 am

[Thrill]

30. John McCain says thanks for the ad. Get ready to see that in several McCain ads

[gateley]

31. Much ado about nothing. Her intent was clear. Stop this. nt

[LittleBlue]

34. Looks like an honest slip. nt

[Yael]

37. Yep

[K Gardner]

51. I agree. But then Obama's "57" gaffe was a slip and we're still enduring fallout from

that.

[Seabiscuit]

40. Utterly worthless thread.

It would have been worthless as a post in another thread. But cluttering up the entire screen like this is unconscionable. It's brown, so I'm flushing it down.

[dailykoff]

41. I'm sure she just misspoke.

She and Bill would never DREAM of dog whistling like they were calling Lassie and Rin Tin Tin.

[RoadRage]

56. Well that will make a nice commercial this fall..

They just need to chop off the last 1/2 second - and McCain has a heck of an endorsement! It would be even better if she was the VP on the opposing ticket.. :eyes:

[CreekDog]

57. oh crap

it happens, but oh no...
