Well, SOMEBODY is clearly an idiot. Of course, neither a slip of the tongue nor a typo are really signs of idiocy. George
Often transcripts are done phonetically and touched-up by hand. Or, if the repasted quote came from an article, well, CNN reporters have been known to make mistakes on occasion, just like anyone else. -Declan On Sun, Oct 07, 2001 at 05:09:12PM -0700, georgemw@speakeasy.net wrote:
