Condi slips; Calls the chimp "Husband"

[Avalux]

Courtesy of Keith Olbermann; heard part of it yesterday but had to wait for the transcript. Of course I've always suspected this.....

National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice reportedly told a Washington dinner last week—quote—“As I was telling my husband”—then she trailed off. “New York” magazine claims Dr. Rice, who is single, followed up that abandoned sentence by starting anew with, “As I was telling President Bush,” but there is some uncertainty about that second part.

The dinner was hosted by the Washington bureau chief of “The New York Times.” And in attendance, perhaps 10 of the papers‘ reporters and editors, all of it off the record, obviously.

1. Yeah -- I heard -- what the Heck was that all about?

Those of us with psych degrees automatically think 'Freudian slip!'

[Avalux]

3. Exactly

Not that anyone could get close enough; but someone needs to look into the "relationship" between those two.

9. The reporters who first started covering Bush

Back when Bush started campaigning, he hired Rice to prepare him for debates and interviews, so for a couple of years he would take every afternoon off (while he was supposed to governor) to let Rice educate him. I forget who introduced them, whether it was Daddy, or Cheney or who. But the reports all said they hit it off right away, and that they were very close personally, and that they worked out together. Some of the reporters left the very clear distinction that they were implying a romance.

I wish the press would get bored and get after that. Neither Bush nor Rice can handle unexpected questions. Catch one of them off-gaurd, and there eyes will reveal all.

2. I once called my teacher 'mom'

in Grade 4

it was embarrassing

4. It's OK. Kids do that all the time.

:D

10. This is different.

You had a mom to relate those words to, substituting one authority for another. I've done that as a kid, too.

Rice has no husband, so she's not used to saying those words, or to forming an emotional similarity between a husband and another person. For her to make that slip reveals something of how she thinks about Bush. That wasn't a verbal gaff.

11. I recently called my mom

"honey," that was embarrasing. But then again, I use that word frequently with my girlfriend (who is not my mom). How often does Condi speak of her husband?

5. Now if only

Pickles would slip and call her husband "chimp"

[RobertSeattle]

6. Hmmm. Freudian slip

"from Old English husbonda master of a house"

Oh wouldn't it be schweeeet if Bush slips and refers to Condi as "Mommy..."

[Benhurst]

7. Maybe if he'd quit asking her "Who's your daddy?" ... n/t

8. Whoa! has she ever been married?

She's single, now, right? So there was no chance that she is simply using a phrase common to her, and inserting it in the wrong place. There is no one she could legitimately be used to using the phrase "my husband" about.

So the slip wasn't an accidental repetition of a common phrase, therefore it was the repetition of a thought, so it wasn't the language that triggered it, but thoughts about Bush.

Wow. That's huge. So naturally no one will make an issue of it. Unless, of course, that's why we're bombing babies and moms in Fallujah.

12. Never been married

You just put some nasty images in my head - Condi's fantasies about shrub. Uggggghhhh! Make it stop!!!


And no, it will probably never be mentioned again. I love Keith Olbermann.

15. Not surprising

Let's face it- they are together much more than he is with Pickles and Pickles has to be so boring to him by this time. Whenever and wherever you see Bush you see Rice now and that's just in public; she is with him all the time in the WH when working and relaxing like working out, too. Plus she goes to Camp David almost every weekend with him, too. Very strange. Has any other Pres. spent this much time with his NSA?

[Benhurst]

16. I don't know. How could anyone bore Bush?

The man hasn't got the attention span of a gnat. :shrug:

17. Too bad Linda Tripp isn't 'friends' with Condi

We might get some salacious gossip out of these people's lives too!

two-faced repukes. *ptui*
