[Yavin4]

10. My Roommate And I Heard The Exact Same Thingq

We were looking for Sen. Kennedy

[SEpatriot]

11. He did.

He also seemed to forget that he is not running against President Clinton.

[Shopaholic]

12. Me too

and my Mom as well. Does he understand that he's not running against Ted Kennedy?????

[mountainvue]

39. Or John Kennedy

for that matter. He was a senator too.

[treading_water]

13. He said it.

He's a moron.

[tinrobot]

14. I heard it too

He mumbled it, though..

[candy331]

15. Yep he said Kennedy hollered to the next room watching TV in here.

Of course he lied because he can't think of any mistakes he's ever made.

[mourningdove92]

16. you are right. He said Kennedy.

[bling bling]

18. I heard it too!

[RareLubbockDem]

19. i heard it

not surprised.. he can't keep saddam and osama straight either.

[Junkdrawer]

20. Wonder if they'll "fix" it in the transcript?

Bet they will.

[democratreformed]

21. I heard it too. I was laughing too. n/t

[iwantmycountryback]

My dad, mom, and sister all heard that one.

[City Lights]

23. I heard Kennedy too. eom

[Iceburg]

25. We hear it in Canada too! You maricans are too funny!

No its a fact he did say Senator Kennedy. But what made use really laugh was when he kept using the word...

"Mcsteak "

... with fries Mr. President?

[cpa]

26. Bush Is Terrible

I also think he said Senator Kennedy. No wonder he could not remember the names of the people who asked him questions. He couldn't remember the name of the person he was debating.

[fujiyama]

27. I heard it too

and I swear I heard a pundit (maybe Peter Jennings or someone else) say the same thing.

Idiots. Stupid F/$^$% idiots.

[onecitizen]

28. he did nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. Early on in the debate he said Kennedy was the most Liberal

and then later he said Kerry was the most Liberal. flip flop

[Mrs. Overall]

30. I taped the debate and he definitely said Kennedy--

listened to it over again and most definitely "Kennedy."

[cheezus]

46. TiVo instant replayed 1/2doz times. CC Kerry, def heard "Kennedy"

The closed captioner put "Kerry", but we listened many times in a row and it was definately "Kennedy".
Unlike other instances, this really was "misspeaking" and not just a lie called that.

[ContinentalOp]

31. Yes he did! But I also swear I heard him say...

toward the end, something to the effect that "if Kerry were president Saddam Hussein would still be in power and THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE." Did anyone else catch that? Anyone know the exact quote?

[alarcojon]

42. You are exactly right

The NY times transcript says "if you listen carefully, Saddam would still be in power, if he were the president of the United States, and the world would be a lot better off."

[ContinentalOp]

51. I thought so. That made my girlfriend and I crack up.

And it's arguably worse than the Kennedy flub. The Kennedy thing is funny though because wingnuts will think it was a great smear to compare Kerry to the great Satan Ted Kennedy :) But any sane person would find the Kennedy/Kerry slip to be a compliment!

[vetwife]

32. Iheard it and wrote Hardball and asked if they were sipping Koolaid

and just ignored the gaffe !

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

33. He said Kennedy

It was very clear.

[LynnTheDem]

34. Kerry ranks as #11 liberal...and bush just LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES

When did LYING become a "christian" thing to do???

[welshTerrier2]

35. yup ... he went into anti-Kennedy auto pilot

i was surprised he didn't bring up Chappaquidick ...

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

36. No he clearly said Kennedy and didn't even seem to

notice or if he did, he never corrected himself.

Dipshit. Is he even aware of who he is running against?

Again, dipshit.

[Shopaholic]

38. He gets things confused. . .

you know--he told us he'd get Osama--he got Saddam instead.
Iran has WMD, so he invaded Iraq.
15 out of 19 9/11 highjackers were from Saudia Arabia but he invaded Iraq instead. . .

[NastyRiffraff]

40. LOL! I thought he said...

Senator CHENEY! Whichever, it definitely wasn't Kerry.

[watercolors]

41. he said Kennedy

nt

[Carolinian]

43. Yes, and Kerry laughed about it.

[cheshire]

44. He said " of that bunch" no respect.

[Claire Beth]

45. correct, he did say Kennedy

[Carolina]

47. yep, he said KENNEDY

meant to be derisive and meld Kerry, Kennedy, liberal, etc... what's the difference, they're all the same.

[Tom_Foolery]

48. He said Kennedy...

I wish Kerry had turned to him and said, "Thank you for complimenting me with the comparison to Senator Kennedy, but the name is KERRY."

[TexasSissy]

49. He probably meant Ted Kennedy, who is campaigning for Kerry

and is Massachusetts senior senator to Kerry. Ted Kennedy was rated most liberal, and Kerry second liberal is their line they have been spouting for months.

[budkin]

50. I laughed out loud!

I thought to myself... nothing you say after that means anything. Bwahahahaha!
