Much ado about nothing and a desperate attempt to distract from the Iraq debacle, Congressional corruption and complete incompetence from the White House.

As to examples of misspeaking and the ensuring furor (or lack thereof):

WASHINGTON - President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of “Bushisms” on Thursday, declaring that his administration will “never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people.”

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,” Bush said. “They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

Don't you remember how the "Liberal Mainstream Media" jumped all over this? No? Because it was obviously a misstatement. Given Shrub's inability to communicate, it was practically a given that he would be unable to complete a speech without saying something incredibly stupid.

Kerry does the same thing (because he meanders)....and Fox News goes rabid...
