Damn I knew I was going slip one day

[Liberalynn]

I just called Senator Schumer's office and got a person rather than a machine.

I said I wanted to thank him for standing firm against, and I slipped totally not on purpose, and said "Boner", then I apologized and said it correctly.

The lady who took the call was very nice and didn't act upset that I said it.


Anyway I said no cuts to Medicare and SS and to keep standing firm.


I'm so embarassed. I was trying to sound all reasonable and professional. I mean it is one thing to call him that here but another to call him that to a Senator's office. Really did not mean to do it.

1. you aren't the 1st and you won't be the last

to make that slip...and probably not today

[Liberalynn]

5. Thanks

:hug:

Its just how I always think of him.

[Orrex]

2. I once did the same thing when I called Sen. Specter's office

I said "Is there anything that Senator Specter can do to make Sen. Ass-Froth less crazy?"


I swear it was totally an accident!

[Liberalynn]

6. Thank you

that makes me feel better that others have slipped too. I love the "less crazy part!" :rofl:

[Maccagirl]

3. I'm afraid I will do the same to my Repub SIL

and I'm also afraid I will slip and say "Teabagger" in mixed company. Sometimes the truth just slips out.

[Liberalynn]

7. Its difficult

when you are really ticked off at these people to keep what you really think of them stuffed inside.

14. Hand to God, I heard a talking head in MSM use "teabagger" in a news report once.

I don't know if it was a slip from a lefty or if the reporter was just some know-nothing airhead who thought "teabagger" was a cute petname for the group, but she said it. I kept my ear to the ground for a week expecting to hear some kind of outcry, but apparently the baggers are just too stupid to know when they're being insulted.

4. ego te absolvo

It's not a mortal sin, and one any of us could be guilty of.

[Liberalynn]

8. Thank you!

:hug:

9. We all know what the Teabaggers call Obama when they call their Reps.

[Liberalynn]

22. The TPs are truly a disgusting lot

10. From Sesame Street. "When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking."

courtesy of Steph Miller. YOU DID NOT MISPRONOUNCE HIS NAME!

[Liberalynn]

23. I heard that on her show.

Thats when I started calling him Boner.

I missed on the reference though. I thought it was "School House Rock."

[OffWithTheirHeads]

32. could be. I'm the Mickey Mouse generation so what do I know?

[Cirque du So-What]

11. I'm so much of a stickler for correct prounuciation

that I 'pronounce' it correctly in my mind whenever I see his name in print, and since his name seldom comes up in actual conversation, there's little likelihood that I would make the 'boner' mistake. A 'boner' by any other name is just as 'prick-y,' however, and he's still every inch an orange stack of shit.

[Liberalynn]

24. Agreed

[dipsydoodle]

12. If he was given the nickname

Stiffy it wouldn't really matter.

[Liberalynn]

25. LOL

[H2O Man]

13. That's okay.

You did good. The "slip" was, at worst, minor and inconsequential; at most, accurate.

[Liberalynn]

26. Thanks

[Lint Head]

15. I would not be so 'professional' myself. What 'Boner' is doing

is unprofessional and dangerous to the country. It's time to tell it like it is and stop pretending there is some kind of compromise when it comes to protecting the people of this country. Sometimes when you're just nice it's not remembered. If our message is emphatic with the tone that we will NOT take this crap any longer I think the message will have teeth.

[Liberalynn]

27. You're right about what he is doing to this country is dangerous.

We do have to stand up against it.

[Old Codger]

16. Well

That is a lot nicer name than what he really is.

[Liberalynn]

28. True!!!!

[Progressive dog]

17. Boehner is obviously Bainer?

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. Chalk that pronunciation up to a person who probably had a pretty rough time of it in junior high.

Now, of course, being Squeeker of the House, I'm sure he feels "entitled" to be respected for his legendary grasp of governmental principles.

Wrong again, Boner.

[Liberalynn]

29. He may know how to read the Constitution

but he has no comprehension of what it actually means.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. I'm sure many people pronounce it that way because that is how

it is spelled.

[Liberalynn]

30. That's a good point.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. I have the same problem pronouncing "George W. Bush" correctly.

It always comes out "Shit-fer-Brains."

[H2O Man]

21. !!!!!!

[Liberalynn]

31. I spit out my pop on that one.

:rofl:
