Earlier today, the Libyan government released Fathi Jahmi. She's a local government official who was imprisoned in 2002 for advocating free speech and democracy," the president said in a speech at the White House on Friday.


The only problem was that, by all other accounts, "she" is in fact "he".


"Definitely male," said Alistair Hodgett, spokesman for the human rights advocacy group Amnesty International, whose representatives tried to see Jahmi in prison during a recent visit to Libya.

3. Is it really too soon

[The Zanti Regent]

10. EVERY DAY IS "I AM EMBARRASED BY BUSH DAY"!

Lord, I cannot wait for voters to pee on this bush and kill it dead in November!

[Just Me]

4. Oh-MY-GAWD,...

,...what if this gets out!!! The "Christian Coalition" fundamentalists will sing in a way, way high pitch to "save" this person (while winking at gullible Georgie boy)*LOL*!!!

:smoke:

This really is a scream,...ya' gotta' admit.

But bless that individual for "advocating free speech and democracy".

5. wtf is up with his stance in that pic?

that may be the least presidential pic I've ever seen.

"have i said tonight how much i DESPISE these people?"

[shanti]

9. i know, huh!?

he looks like he's mimicking ahnold!

[MisterP]

12. he seems frightened by the fuzzy things

[tridim]

15. Stay back you mean old man!

[radfringe]

21. "Hey there little girl...

...you grow up fast now, y'hear? There's a big deficit that you have to pay off when you get a job."

7. The photo is from yesterday when he was speaking about

the terrorist attack in Spain. Because they had changed the caption to reflect the most current news of note (this time man/woman mistake), it alerted me that there was a story out there, too, to go along with the photo.

If you go to WH web site, the entire speech Jr. gave today was pretty elaborate with many VIP types in the audience.

Someone has really f&cked up his big women's rights speech. You couldn't have asked for a better Friday night surprise.

[DemMother]

8. not surprising...

coming from someone who can't tell the difference between a cow and a bull.

[boobooday]

11. Hey, man, woman

Who cares, unless they're marrying each other.

[MO_Dem]

13. That's what I was thinking

This is the bunch that thinks they are qualified to decide who can get married?

[daleo]

14. It could have been worse

He could have praised Ann Coulter.

[yardwork]

16. He probably did.

The article says that he praised his wife.

[Kool Kitty]

17. Oh, for God's sake-

if stupidity was electricity, he'd be a powerhouse.

[murielm99]

24. LOL! He could just stand there and radiate!

No more energy crisis!

[Piperay]

18. What an IDIOT...

I don't believe we have ever had such a moron 'leading' the country before. :freak:

[DoYouEverWonder]

19. This is the same idiot

that waved hello to Stevie Wonder.

That's what happens to people isolate themselves from real people and the real world. After a while even things that are common knowledge to the rest of us, like supermarket scanners are items of wonderment for these bubble boys.

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. That's not half as bad as

when I heard him talking about the bombing in Spain this week. The suspected terrorist group "ETA" is pronounced 'etta'. I clearly heard him say "E" "T" "A" (like SLA or IRA). THIS is supposed to be the man who's made us safer. :eyes:

[MaineDem]

23. I can't fault him on that one

THe BBC had someone in Spain on this morning and they called it E-T-A.

I think CNN asked an "expert" yesterday and he said it can be referred to either way.

There are so many gaffes in his speeches already, though. What an idiot!

[Praetorian]

22. Bush has Finally Found a Woman He

respects, loves and admires.......

I'm happy for him!

:wow:

Oooops...

:spank: Bad Praetorian!! Bad Bad Bad!!!

[jeanmarc]

25. Dwarfed by microphone stands?

That picture is hilarious! Look at the scowl on that little dwarf!

[The Blue Knight]

26. He needs to get laid.

[renegade000]

27. LOL

this actually did make me laugh out load...

wow...its nice to know our president has such great contextual knowledge about the topics he is discussing.
