OMG! CNN closed captioning: Al Quada called Barak to congratulate him!!
Advertisements [?]
Though not deaf, I'm hearing-impaired enough to use closed captioning on my television, which has been a godsend. So, I'm watching CNN just a few minutes ago and couldn't believe what I saw. They were discussing the results and then came this little gem: "We can say that, in fact, Al Quada called Barack to congratulate him just awhile ago." WTF? My husband saw my reaction, but had been listening to the commentary instead of watching the closed captioning. He couldn't figure out what was up with me until I told him what the CC had said. He said no, no, Hillary Clinton called him to congratulate him, not Al Quada!!!! He hadn't seen the CC, so he didn't know what to think.

He then suggested that maybe the cc typers didn't hear it right. No way. There is NO WAY they could have mistaken Al Quada for Hillary Clinton. Maybe if her name was Mary Mida or something like that, it might be slightly possible. But NO WAY. That is just unbelievable. Are they taking up Faux News tricks now? Jesus H. Christ.

Gee, now, I wonder why they'd want to associate Obama with Al Quada? Hmmmmmmmmm..........
