Re: Your vote for America's most retarded politician ever [Re: Diploid]

From what I understand, the flash card he was given by the school had the spelling variant which he gave.

The word was commonly spelled "potatoe" up until recently and the plural of 'potato' is 'potatoes' so it was certainly an understandable mistake to anyone who doesn't wish to make mischief that is. But the media couldn't resist.

It was certainly an awkward moment, but nothing to make such a big deal about. I mean they went on for weeks about that.

I think it just crystallized in people's minds all the other gaffes he had made and the media needed a story. The talk shows needed a topic.

They should have focused on his other gaffes. There were plenty to choose from that's for sure!
