Why was George helping him out instead of asking a follow up question such as ‘are you a Muslim?’
Agreed. He should have asked for clarification, not corrected him.
To me, that was the real "Freudian slip". George revealed himself as a waterboy for the Obama campaign.
That sound bite will crush him, it will be played by Sean Hannity, O'Rielly, and Rush Limbaugh till the cows come home.
