CNN's Candy Crowley got a tremendous amount of criticism last month when she defended Barack Obama during the second presidential debate.

On Sunday's State of the Union, she appeared to compensate by saying "President Romney" in a question to Ohio's Rob Portman (VIDEO follows with transcript and commentary):

[epluribus_2]

Get used it saying it Cand...

[DAC21]

She will probably just say that her mouth was full of Carmel Corn and was misunderstood.

[austingirl]

Bwahahahhahahha!

[rabidralph]

No, it’ll be Mr. Romney.

[Red Badger]

President Romney.......get used to it........

[Right Brother]

From Candy’s cookie crumb covered lips to God’s ear.

[Doogle]

[mikrofon]

From your Liberal lips to God’s ears....

[stanne]

She owed him one.

[snarkytart]

lol

LOL

Lately, when I should type Governor Romney I find myself typing President Romney instead and have to catch my mistake when proof reading. That began to happen only a few days ago, and I don't know why.

Does it mean anything, beyond that I hope to be able to type President Romney accurately come January? Probably not. But on the other hand . . . .

[RegulatorCountry]

Can we get the transcript for that, Candy?

Say it again, louder.

Looney Lib, Shiela Jackson Lee, was being interviewed on CNN yesterday afternoon and she got flustered and said, ‘President Romney..er..president to be..er..president wanting to be’
BWA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA

Anybody see that?

I don’t recall the Republican senator who was also there also being interviewed, but whan Jackson Lee said that he
sure had a big grin on his face. LOL

Hee hee....Mitt’s living rent free in their heads.

It just rolls lithely off the tongue so its not surprising that the fingers follow suit..........

[Blue Highway]

She does love candy corn and other sugary treats. She is rumored to especially enjoy marshmallow covered twinkies, drizzled with hot fudge.

[Red Badger]

Both sides have known for quite some time.
They do their own internal pollng to be able to judge accurately their own positions.
You can tell by their actions, not by their words, they know its over......

[Mase]

What a repulsive human being she is. How does a pig like that end up on television? Yuck.

[Reo]

She says it today, but it ain’t over until she sings it Tuesday night.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

My distant cousin, President Thomas E. Dewey, would have appreciated that.

[cvq3842]

I assume that even a professional talking on TV all the time will make blunders. But then again maybe she has seen polling data we have not.

Bovine bloviator has a nice, alliterative ring to it, too.

...Shiela Jackson Lee, was being interviewed on CNN yesterday afternoon and she got flustered and said, ‘President Romney..er..president to be..er..president wanting to be’

And Candy saying the same.

Even Prez Hussein said this at the second debate:

"...one of the commitments I made when I was president."

[Polyxene]

I agree! I couldn’t decide which to use — both bovine and porcine aptly describe Her Largeness!

[RitchieAprile]

crack is hard on the brain.

[LibLieSlayer]

I agree. I do not have a crystal ball but if you and I are wrong... we have some mighty powerful and smart people like Michael Barone for company.
