27. True, but at least NATO had a legitimate purpose when it was formed
Nobody but the greedy can say such a thing about NAFTA.

16. actually its his producers fault not his. A small mistatement like this is no big thing
but his producer should have corrected him so that he could have corrected himself.

Obviously the producer doesn't understand the difference.

18. It's what we call a "Freudian slip." The error reveals more truth than the correct version would.
NATO has always been an organization dominated by the self-interest of America's military-industrial complex.

philosophically,

19. Reminds me of the stupid newscaster in the movie Diehard - "As in Helsinki, Sweden"
Actually, everyone in the newscast was misinformed, about the "Helsinki Syndrome" and about Helsinki being in Sweden.

24. I hear you, my friend. I now have a dent in my forehead.
But ain't it fun revealing the idiocy of the FoxNoise propaganda machine?

26. he misstated it
geez, let it go. Obama once said we have 59 states in the Union, so you really think he believes that or do you think he just had a mind fart?

I do think Shep is probably the least odious Fox News personality, but that's quite a low bar to hurdle.
