Bush Again Confuses IDs of Two Terrorists

[russian33]

WASHINGTON - President Bush might have been able to say it was simply a slip of the tongue when he confused two terrorists in a campaign speech Monday in New Hampshire. Trouble is, he's made the same misstatement at least 10 times before.

During remarks in Derry, N.H., Bush said the late terrorist Abu Nidal killed Leon Klinghoffer, a 69-year-old Jewish American who died after being tossed - along with his wheelchair - off a hijacked cruise liner named Achille Lauro in 1985.

"Do you remember Abu Nidal?" Bush asked the crowd. "He's the guy that killed Leon Klinghoffer. Leon Klinghoffer was murdered because of his religion. Abu Nidal was in Baghdad, as was his organization."

<snip>

Actually, it was Abul Abbas, the leader of a violent Palestinian group, who killed Klinghoffer.

4. Howard Fineman was ripping Kerry this morning on Imus for not knowing

how many games the Red Sox were behind the Yankees and for going on Letterman/Regis and Kelly

Lets see Mr.Fineman get on * for his blunder

He won't

5. Fineman is a gas giant of a whore

I remember him speaking for black people after Sharpton's speech, saying that they would be utterly turned off by it. Of course, no black people were present in MSNBC's panel, but boy did those African American Dems at the convention look pissed at Al. :eyes:

6. in 2000, bush did oprah and letterman

noone had issues with that

Fineman can go fuck himself

[fdr_hst_fan]

8. He could, but

it'll probably be a LOUSY fuck!

7. He has made this mistake numerous times

I wonder if there is a practical joker aboard who keeps inserting Nidal's name in his stump speech. Then gets a laugh as he keeps repeating it. Kinda like a forged document stump speech. Bush would recite anything in front of him. I'd love to see someone slip him something really stupid. He'd be like Ted Baxter from MTM.
