Quayle had been relying on the cue card provided him BY THE SCHOOL whose spelling bee he was judging —he didn’t want to embarrass them. He was being CLASSY.

The two situations are totally different.

Remember when Bush senior looked at a grocery scanner and “was amazed”? It was a lie —they’d been demonstrating to him that EVEN IF THE BAR CODE WAS TORN UP there was an algorithm that would unscramble it and make it good.

THEY LIED.

Plus I think Quayle’s spelling of “potatoe” is an acceptable alternate spelling?

Hussein speaks a form of non-standard English as well, close to Ebonics, but certainly not the language used for centuries by educated Americans of all regions. As a case in point, he constantly refers to Massachusetts as "Mass-a-TWO-chets". And in the SOTU a few years back, he repeatedly spoke of "EEE-lec-tron-ix", placing the emphasis on the wrong syllable.

In contrast George W. Bush's arguable mispronunciation of nuclear is one that I've heard frequently from all manner of well-spoken, articulate men, including my very wise coC preacher who hails from out in the western part of Texas.

And my wife’s Betty Crocker cookbook also spells it POTATOE

Was that it? I thought the scanner they were showing him so a prototype that could scan the entire contents of the cart in one swoop.

Either way you are correct on both...lies by the left that, unfortunately, get peddaled even by those “on the right”.

Well....its not like it was spelt out in the song or anything.
Guess the teleprompter man will end up getting audited.
