DES MOINES – Presidential contender Rick Perry said there are eight Supreme Court justices, not nine, and flubbed Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s (SOHN’-ya soh-toh-my-YOR’) name in an editorial board meeting at The Des Moines Register.

Perry met with the board Friday. He struggled for six seconds to come up with Sotomayor’s name, then initially called the justice “Montemayor.” A member of the newspaper’s editorial board helped him out with the correct name.

Yet this is news to the AP?

Shouldn’t the AP be looking for Obama’s transcripts and LSAT scores? The integrity of his “election’ to the Illinois Senate?

“Monte” is probably her nickname in the butch circut.

SOHN’-ya soh-toh-my-YOR’

wtf?

[Proud2BeRight]

And Obama saying Hawaii is in Asia? .....crickets chirping....

[HotKat]

Did he refer to the Des Moines Register as a newspaper in Idaho?

[Kaslin]

You are asking way to much, fella. The Ass-ioted Press is not interested in 0-bama’s transcripts and LSAT scores

[Yossarian]

Odd Onion is a goofy source, but I see this is confirmed at other "normal" news websites.

At this point, after this many flubs, I wish Perry would drop out of the race, for the good of the GOP.

Perry = Painful.

Maybe they should ax hussein to rattle off the names of the 57 states.

Perry ought to swear off the sauce.

No more verbal stumble-bums debating Zero. He's not the ideal candidate by a long shot, but Gingrich is the one ‘Pub in the race who can rip B. Hussein Soetero to shreds.

[Enosh]

How is it “goofy”?

[NEMDF]

WOW. Between this and him wearing a jacket that somehow resembles a jacket someone wore in a gay movie... seems like he be so ashamed and just drop out. (/s)

[montyspython]

"WTF did I just say?"

[SpaceBar]

I’m not a Perry supporter, but we already have a supposed constitutional scholar in the White House and look how that’s working out.

[montyspython]

Or quit wearing Howard Dean’s underwear.

[kosciusko51]

Obama was a D student at Columbia and got a 120 on the LSAT. I defy anyone to prove otherwise.

[kosciusko51]

lol. I’m glad I wasn’t drinking coffee when I saw this.

[livius]

The (self-proclaimed) constitutional scholar flubs things all the time and the press never reports it. Only by reading a transcript would you ever hear of it.

Actually there’s only 4 Supreme Court justices, and I can’t pronounce Sotomayor’s name the way the media says it’s to pronounced.
