On The Latest Pratfall of Sen. Thurston Howell III.
I find myself agreeing with LaShawn Barber on this one.
Remember that the junior Senator from the People's Republic of Massachusetts is also responsible for such theological novelties as "Pope Pius XXIII" and "the Vatican II." Despite, you know, being an altar boy, carrying a rosary, getting a smudge on Ash Wednesday....
Malapropism, thy name is Kerry.
My only reservations are these:
(1) Release the speech already. The longer he waits, the more it appears he had a Freudian slip.
(2) Here's how he should be apologizing: "I am horrified that my clumsy misstatement makes it look like I was denigrating our troops. I was attempting to make a joke about the President and it came out horribly, horribly wrong. I apologize to all of our men and women in uniform for the hurt this has caused." Getting huffy and shrieking about the "Republican hate machine" isn't cutting it. Especially since even Democrats are treating him like he has Ebola.
(3) It would be nice if MSM gave the same solicitude the next time a conservative tripped over his tongue. I know: while I'm at it, wish for the winning MegaMillions numbers, too.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
