Did NBC call Bill Clinton gay?
I had a call from someone who was watching Yesterdays "today" show when he heard someone say they would be talking about Bill Clinton being gay. She then went on to say she had ment Abraham Lincoln not Clinton.

Did anyone else hear this?

1. It's automatic
any time the press brings up "sex" and "President" in the same sentence the name "Clinton" is automatically blurted out. They've been programmed that way.

Your description is accurate. It was from yesterday's TODAY show.

10. I heard it and it was a slip of the tongue
made by Ann Curry who is just back from covering the Tsunami and is of course jet lagged. It was just one of those times when one opens their mouth and something unintended comes out. She was more shocked than anyone when it came out and Katy C. corrected her immediately.

11. Yes I saw it...
...she meant to imply that Lincoln was gay, but said Clinton by mistake.

13. I love those kind of slips
Like when someone, I think it was Peter Jennings, called O.J. Simpson "Mr. Guilty, er, Mr. Simpson." LOL!
