And they wonder why Dubya never shows up at one of their little get togethers!

Since I have a part-time job transcribing the Sunday talk shows, I am delighted that Jackson has not appeared on those shows since he was disgraced last year, because he is so inarticulate and mush-mouthed that he is impossible to transcribe.I can imagine - I transcribe for a few mushmouthed doctors (and some absolutely wonderful ones who make voice recognition look like a threat). So how do you get a part-time job doing that type of work (for the Sunday shows)? Do you do it for transcripts or for closed captioning (in other words, do you have a tape for start/stop or is it all live)?

"He's inaware!"I wonder if Jackson uses Mike Tyson as his speech writer?
To: kattracks
No he did'nt, he thought it was a real word.
It's a new word like he is a reverend, which he is not.
It's a new word like he did'nt cheat on his wife.
It's a new word like he does not blackmail people.
It's a new word like-----Never mind you get my point.

The outfit I work for in the D.C. area has contracts with the networks. They use transcribing machines, with tapes and stop/start pedals.

What a bunch of clowns all you who have posted and Newmax are. Poking fun at Jesse for making up a word when unliterate IS a word!! This is from the Oxford English Dictionary:
unliterate, a.
a. Illiterate.
a1548 HALL Chron., Hen. IV, 11 These monasticall persones, lerned and vnliterate. 1688 W. SCOT Hist. Fam. Scot p. v, An unliterate Souldier.
b. Unliterary; not interested in reading or literature. Also absol.
1950 M. MEAD Male & Female xiii. 271 The Gesell norms used by the reading mother or the neighbourhood gossip of the unliterate. 1960 Guardian 13 June 5/2 The innumerate humanist and the unliterate scientist were equally inadequate.
Granted, it's an obscure word (not in any of my dictionaries except the OED, but the OED is the gold standard for the English language), but unliterate IS a word.
Do you think Newsmax will run a retraction? Yeah, me neither. Is retraction even in Newsmax's dictionary? Does Newsmax even own a dictionary?

[sorry about the HR]
To: kattracks
because he's ignorant.
Ugnorant?
To: Your Nightmare
UNliterate: well versed in double speak, BS, Clintonese, Ananish and fibbingese.
To: Constitution Day
No sacrifice to great for Jesse- if the price is right.
To: F.J. Mitchell
Not sure what your point is. "Unliterate" is a word. Newsmax is wrong.
To: Your Nightmare
My point is that the half-witted Jackson, Forest Gumpted again. JUst imagine the achievements Gump may have realized, had he the further advantage of being black, as well as stupid.
To: F.J. Mitchell
So Jackson is half-witted because he used a word that your not familar with?
To: Your Nightmare
I doubt that Jackson is familiar with that word either, he probably just got lucky.
To: F.J. Mitchell
I don't know about that. I doubt that he was trying to say that Bush is unable to read (which would be obviously wrong), but more that he is not interested in reading or expanding his knowledge in general (which is the impression quite a few people get from Bush).
