Did Tweety just fuck up again?
Did I just hear him "confuse" Obama with bin Laden again?

There has to be a word for making that deliberate "mistake".

3. He did say it
Dumbass Tweety. Every day he sticks his foot in one way or another. He certainly loves the sound of his own voice.

Obama in new Osama TV mix-up

By staff writers

February 20, 2008 11:30am


NBC News says it was an "inexcusable" mistake that an image of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was flashed up during a discussion about Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama on a news show.

The blunder occurred during at the start of Hardball on Monday night, the Associated Press reported. The nightly show analyses American politics and media.Host Chris Matthews was previewing a story on the controversy over Senator Obama's use of another politician's words when an image of bin Laden briefly flashed on the screen beside him with the headline "Words About Words".
---------------
NBC said the mistake was made by someone in the network's graphics department whom MSNBC would not identify, AP reported. The network did not explain exactly how the mistake was made but said the employee
It is the latest in a string of incidents in which the presidential candidate and terrorist leader have been confused in the media.
CNN apologised last year for promoting a story on the search for bin Laden with the headline, "Where's Obama?" In another incident, CNN's Alina Cho reported that "Barack Obama's campaign has been dogged by false rumours, among them that Osama is a Muslim, Obama rather."

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney also made the mistake on the campaign trail last October when talking about terrorism."Actually, just look at what Osam, uh, Barack Obama said just yesterday ..." .
