Lord Faux Pas?
Kyoto Rose?

One hopes that there will be some costs to Kerry's dissing of Poland. Not too much should be made of his confusing of Treblinka with Lubyanka given that most people(including YT)could not have correctly identified the latter, and that, unlike the Polish issue, this was a simple mistake. Bush, according to, I think, CNN confused Abu Abbas and Abdu Nidal something like 8 or 9 times. Once was O.K., but what about his staff? Were they afraid to inform him of his mistake? Or did someone try, only to be sushed ala "Animal House" when Belushi alludes to the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor with something like, "He's on a roll!"?
-still gagging on Kerry's comparison of invading Iraq with a decision by FDR to invade Mexico. YT and others have done with[[[oooops, punched "publish post" instead of "save as draft"-will finish later..]]]
