Do We REALLY Want A President Who CAN'T Spell His Own Wife's Name?

[kpete]

A screenshot below of a Google search for Calista Gingrich (as opposed to Callista, which is how it's properly spelled.) It's misspelled across the website 7 times.

1. When you don't have to be correct, you don't develop the discipline & habits

of validation.

[DavidDvorkin]

2. He's making his own reality.

3. Do we really want a president named Newt? nt

[arcane1]

4. I'm sure the defense is "I didn't write that"

But it seems that most of those links are transcripts. I don't think we can blame the salamander for that.

5. Gingrich may be an asswipe

But do you think he's writing web content?

Get a grip. There are larger issues.

[patrice]

6. So, his management style does not require attention to detail from his organization(s). nt

[patrice]

7. again, if you don't have to be correct, you don't develop in yourself, or require in others,

the disciplines and habits of validation.

[Zanzoobar]

9. Listen, patrick

It's hard to control what others write about you.

Get a grip.

[Pool Hall Ace]

11. patrick?

[patrice]

15. hee, hee!

[Zanzoobar]

18. Yes. Patrick.

If I must paraphrase myself, it's hard to control what others write.

I should not have to spell it out so clearly.

[patrice]

23. And what does your sense of humor have to do with the fact that Newtie

does not care whether he or his staff gets the facts correct or not?

[patrice]

16. Yes, it is, but if you care, you make sure someone else does. nt

[Zanzoobar]

20. Yes, let's hold a national spelling bee for bloggers and journalists.

Shall we have a grammar nanny/spelling nanny invitational for everyone who likes to post things on the web?

[patrice]

21. Uh, we don't take significant amounts of money to tell people what to think, whether

we are actually correct, or have checked the details, or not.

[Zanzoobar]

22. Yes, Patrick.

Whatever you meant by that, I hope it works for you.

[patrice]

25. You continue to avoid the issue. Silly name-calling instead AND you seem to think I care!

That'd be sort of amusing if it wasn't so . . .

Boring!

[GaYellowDawg]

8. Oh, give him a break.

After so many wives and mistresses, how do you expect him to keep track of the names? He's only human.

[EFerrari]

24. To be fair, it's probably his girl friend who can't spell his wife's name.

[KansDem]

10. Of course! He makes "folksy" mistakes. That makes him a "Man of the People!"

Don't be an elitist!

I'll bet before this is over, Newt will be giving out nicknames and you'll be wanting to have a beer with him!

[patrice]

17. !

:rofl:

[rurallib]

12. Hard to keep the wife's name and the girlfriend's name

and that of the one night stand all separate and correct

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. Could be worse. He could have spelled it S u s an. nt

[MadMaddie]

14. Well he doesn't pay attention to such things

he will be trading her in soon....

[dsc]

19. actually he is just predicting the future

he will soon have a fourth wife named Calista who he will have an affair with while married to Callista.
