Uri is obviously correct that this is a minor gaffe at best, but the truth remains: if Sarah Palin or George Bush or Condi Rice or Bobby Jindal had screwed up the name, the morons on "Today" or "GMA" or whatever crap CBS has on in the mornings these days would be hyping it up....

As much as I despise this despicable coward, I am willing to cut him some slack here.
I can only imagine what I might blurt out in front of media cameras and microphones if I were in a similar situation and trying to read a teleprompter and I never heard of these freaking places....

Poor dull Uri just doesn’t get it. It isn’t about the gaffe, but the way it is treated by the state run media. A sip of water was fodder for the news propaganda shows for at least a week, with serious discussion about whether it disqualified Rubio to run for president. This simple minded jackass has been in government his whole life, and is treated as brilliant, but cant handle a simple press conference.

Isn’t this the country that has numerous adoptions for Americans to go running to rather than in our own back yards???

I wish folks would quit posting this stuff. The media is NOT going to report it until a conservative does it. What does it matter now?

We should found a new Central Asian country for Jon Cary and his ilk. Let’s call it Numnutistan.

Who cares how he pronounces the name of a country just so long as he doesn’t get thirsty saying it. < do I really need a sarcasm tag?>
