On their top-of-the-hour news, they related how Bunnypants discussed the hurricane damage before some group today. They then said "and the president segwayed into discussing the war on terror." (I paraphrase.)
Okay. Is there anyone who doesn't know the Monkey King is the only human known to be unable to ride a Segway?
Of course, we now have a new Bunnypants phrase. "Disaster/terra!!, disaster/terra!"
What a fuckstick.

11. There's at least one news anchor I know that screws it up too. |

And does she say "seeg"? There may be enough people who actually don't know how to pronounce it that we don't get called on it.

I've heard her say it at least twice. She pronounces it sort of like "sege" but in the context I think she's definitely meaning the word "segue."

I turned off for good after their incessant fellating of the Bush Crime Family and snarky commentaries courtesy of rightwing asswipes like Daneesh D'Souza. F*** NPR! :puke:

18. Please don't call him |

the "Monkey King"!
The Monkey King is a diety of early Chinese mythology. He is considered clever, mischievous, strong and invulnerable - and immortal!
Calling bush* The Monkey King is a COMPLIMENT.
