Yeah, my opinion of Nancy Pelosi has been pretty much shot by this episode. Not that I ever had a high opinion, but it wasn't really low, either.

OK, mixing up thousand and million isn't that big a slip.  I've said dumber things than that...it's part of verbal communication.  Thoughts don't always get spoken clearly.

Granted, it's funny.  So go ahead and laugh.

She obviously meant to say 500 thousand.

Here are the net change in jobs for the last 4 months:
Sept -403k
Oct -423k
Nov -584k
Dec -524k

And they're not expecting pretty numbers on Friday.

You are of course correct.  Everybody makes a word slip now and again and they shouldn't be blasted for it.  Lefties have never bashed a righty for something like this.  They are better than that and only attack the issues.

Thank you, I believe I shall. You know, after hearing that number, five-hundred thousand doesn't sound so bad.

LOL McCain's retarded and senile. But seriously Pelosi just misspoke. Why do you hate the elderly?

If it had been Bush, it would appear on a calendar of Bushisms next year, while Pelosi or another Democrat would have attacked him for using the politics of fear and greed to pressure them into passing something they fundamentally oppose.

Yea, if Bush had said anything like this, it would already be running the liberal media as a 'proof' of how stupid he is.

Guys, the difference when Pelosi or Palin or Romney or Obama (57 states?) does something like this vs. Bush (and to some extent McCain) is that Bush (and to some extent McCain) did it a lot. That's when it becomes funny.

Bush also messed up sentence structure and verb tenses with his stuff (Is our children learning?) rather than just accidentally using different words.

People do tend to come up with excuses for their own hypocrisy.  Good job!


(it really is ok to make fun your own.  It doesn't make you a bad guy.  In fact, it's a rather noble personality trait in my opinion.)
