"Accidental"

From an Albany Times-Union story about a visit by John Ashcroft to Skidmore College:

He [Ashcroft] drew hollers of disapproval when he accidentally called Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama "Osama."

Amazing how "responsible", "accountable", members of the mainstream media continue faithfully to report such "slips" as "accidental" even though they happen over and over and over again.  Hint to reporters: it's not an accident, it's a strategy

Slip of the Tongue

Please, don't be so harsh on Governor-Senator-General Ashcan, I mean Ashcroft. Anyone can make a mistake. I just did.
