It wasn't a mispronunciation, it was a Freudian Slip. To him all soldiers are just cannon fodder.  :fuelfire:

It's George Romero's birthday today according to Big Hollywood.  Maybe it was some sort of double shout-out?

Hmmm,

I wonder if he were on a battlefield how many corpse men would leave him there rather than treat him?

As if he wasn't already in precarious straits with the military, aren't the first-responders up at Camp David Navy Corps(e)men?

Not a single one of them would, and to wonder such is well......just wrong.  I give a lot more credit to the pecker checkers to transcend partisanship and just do their job

Then again you asked about corpse men, never heard of them........maybe they're all from the nine new states??

Hi,

Apparently you have never heard of triage, you treat the most critical ones first......

All kidding aside, the corpsman I encountered in the navy were top notch and indeed would do their job.

At the same time, the Marine Corps I was in was very much self policing.  I am serious when I say that likely BO would have never made it through boot camp.  I am not inferring any kind of illegal stuff, the leadership just sent a few folks home because they felt they would endanger the lives of all and that is who they had to protect.  I seriously doubt BO Plenty would have ever cut it.

Should we list and catalog all the times G W Bush mispronounced words, made up words and otherwise showed us his lack of education. Shows what a sham a Harvard education is. So how many times do any of us screw up the language? So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. - John 8:7 KJV
You hypocrites.

The media and the left are the hypocrites . They were constantly on President Bush for his verbal mannerisms, yet they give Lord Zero a pass on every verbal gaffe he makes.  Look in the mirror there, skippy and see the real hypocrite.

AHA!

You seem to miss one point.  I see no hypocracy at all my friend.  Not one of us ever suggested George Bush was an educated elitist.  Twas the democrats who went on about his low IQ and poor grades........even though both were above John Kerry his most recent political opponent.  I recall comments like Bush was not the sharpest knife in the drawer being one of the democrat talking points so when Bush may have made a mistake, what's the big deal.

Twas the democrats who ridiculed Quayle for his spelling of tomato.

It seems that BO plenty has been hyped as a "Constitutional scholar" and brilliant leader.  George Bush was always George Bush.  Seems to me BO Plenty has convinced a lot of Americans that he is trying to be something he is not.......  So when Lord Nitwit our current brilliant leader cannot pronounce a word, particularly having to do with the military, we get attacked as hyprocrites?

Stuff it pal, you are all wet on this issue.

Hi,

I understand, thanks.  I was living in fear of the speech police so I figured I needed to spell it correctly.  You see the democrats feel that they have an exclusive on that franchise, they are the only ones qualified to criticize.

These days one cannot be too careful as we saw earlier in this thread.

I saw that whole clip on TV "ONCE"...one time is all they ever showed of the full clip.

Dan spelled/(wrote) potato out correctly on the blackboard....then the dumbass teacher told him it had an "e" on the end....and being the dutiful student that he was and wanting disobey the teacher, he added an "e"....and that my friends is all you ever saw on TV after that. The news should have gone on and on about how stupid teachers were these days but they chose instead to twist it into how stupid Dan Quayle was.

Now the news media wonders why people don't trust then any more..... :rotf:

Uh no the hypocrisy is the let hammered Bush for 8 years about how stupid he was because of some slip ups while speaking. Now Obama who you all claim is the president with the highest IQ ever (yet no one can cite the actual number) makes verbal slip ups all the time as well.

So when I hammer Barry for his slip ups it is showing you libs just how you acted for 8 years. Unlike how you view Bush I don't believe that Obama is a drooling idiot for making some verbal mistakes. Bush was blasted for saying Nevada wrong when speaking there in 2002 because he didn't take the time to find out the local preference for pronouncing it. Obviously Obama did not take the time to find out how to pronounce corpsman and show the proper respect towards our military.


I do however believe the man is very ignorant when it comes to the constitution and intent of our founding fathers and that is due to his receiving instruction from an early age from communists.

"Corpseman?"  Please...we prefer to call them "Mortuary Affairs Specialists" or "Graves Registration Soldiers."
