I rarely get political with this blog, but this clip from MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ easily warranted today’s WTFWTT entry. Whilst discussing Jesse Jackson’s recent slip-up whilst being unknowningly recorded, veteran newscaster Dan Rather substitutes Osama Bin Laden’s name for Barack Obama’s. Not mixes it up in an unfortunate but strangely endearing way (as a couple of other newscasters have already done). Wholly substitutes it. I think it’s time Mr. Rather hung up the lapel mic and settled down in a comfy recliner with a blanket and some episodes of ‘Matlock’.
But the best part, the most WTFWTT moment, is that NO ONE ON THE PANEL CALLS HIM ON IT. Well done folks. Bravo. Top notch journalism.
