Major Garrett of FauxNews links to porn website instead of excerpts of Obama's speech
:wow:

I apologize. Bit.ly turned my original link to SOTU excerpts to a soft-porn link. NOT my intention.

1. He's apparently catching heat for it too...
For those suckling snide syrup. I publicly acknowledged an innocent mistake and corrected it. If that's not good enuf, take a hike.

9. Oh yes, it's "auto-type" completion that can be selected as an option? ... too funny!

6. Trying to blame it on Bit.ly???????
Dude, the ONLY WAY Bit.ly would give you a link to a porn site is if you had put in the URL to the porn site.

and it's not really a pron site, it's more of a site for procuring "escorts".

8. If I ran Bit.ly I would sue his ass
That kind of thing can ruin a company's reputation and I don't believe for a second that the URL shortening service mangled his link. We're not talking about the generator turning whitehouse dot com into whitehouse dot org. That site Garret linked to is named forwant dot com.

I'm sure the President would be flattered that his voice does it for you.
