Baculus Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I didn't see this video posted, but here is a clip of Laura Bush calling Hurricane Katrina, hurricane Corrina. She did it not once, but twice. IMHO, that is really, really sad, and out of touch if you cannot even name a hurricane of such magnitude. http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/09/09.html#a4875 Sorry if this video was posted, but I didn't see anything recent on it.

Predicto Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 That means nothing to me. I misspeak all the time just like that, and I'm terrible with names. It has nothing to do with how I feel about the subject or the person, it's just a glitch in my wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 I never said I was perfect, nor did I say she was perfect. I most certainly make mistakes. But I CAN at least say and spell the name of the BIGGEST HURRICANE THAT HAS HIT THIS COUNTRY IN YEARS. Heck, I even spent time researching the name "Katrina" just to see what the name means. (It has more then one meaning, being attributed as both greek and celtic in orgin.) But the responses are expected from some of you. "Circle the wagons, fast!" After all, I am not the one that said "Corrina," but you have more to say about ME posting what SHE said, as opposed to her own inability to name a storm that has affected millions of her fellow citizens in a very recent time. After all, it's not as if the hurricane was obscure news. BTW, it isn't just the "Left" that offers observations or criticisms - some of you are so stuck in the Left/Right mentality. I don't care - I think it is sad that she could not even name the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the grand scheme of things it is a non-issue - that really isn't saying very much, really. But it does not help a perception of how "in touch" some folks are with the disaster, eh?

nelms Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I don't care - I think it is sad that she could not even name the storm. You are totally off base. She is pronouncing it the only way she knows how. It is her Texas "twang" that makes it sound like Corrina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baculus Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 She has a life. Ok CrazyZeb, who has thousands of posts on an internet message board. :-P Don't start to go down that road of perception of who "has a life"! ANYWAY, some folks such as myself are interested in names. After all, my name is taken from a centurion with legio X, under command with Julius Caesar in Gaul, among other places. Oh, I forgot, research means "no life." Good try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I agree, I'm just pointing out that both sides are the same. Totally agree again. But when "my" side focuses on non-issues, it aggravates me, because it is so much easier for the "other" side to defend itself against this kind of petty stuff than it is to defend the bigger picture. It plays right into "their" hands. If you know what I mean. (This statement applies to both sides in any debate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
