If that's the 'dumbest' thing said by Ralph Nader all year... and when you compare that to the absolutely assinine statement made by John Kerry... I think little things like this do a lot to explain why my politics are the way they are.

Too bad Kerry's OG-BYN quote wasn't right next to the internets quote.

During the second debate (I think), Kerry had a slip up similar to Bush's "internets" thing. It was in discussion about Obstetrics and Gynecology. Kerry said OG-BYN, however, unlike Bush's internet's slip up, nobody seemed to care. I, however, found both hilarious.

I don't see what's so funny. Ogstetrics and Bynecology is a very serious practice.

Well when you talk like you have some sort of intellect, a slip up is a slip up. When you talk like Bush a slip up is normal conversation, so a slip up for him heads toward comedy gold for the rest of us... for both of our internets.

WTF?
Can someone please elaborate?
j.
Darling of the conservative media, Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, had a sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him by a former producer of his show, The O'Reilly Factor. Bill would call the woman at night, trying to have phone sex with her. Apparently she recorded the conversations, and apparently this is what they said.

Prior to learing this I found O'Reilly a laughable ass.
Now I consider O'Reilly a laughable ass x 1000. What a goose.
