There was some lib who did the same thing recently. With Wheaton College I think it was? Of course, the gaffe got no msm coverage. Let’s see if Sarah’s gaffe also gets zero msm coverage...

It was Ann Curry from the NBC Today Show. It got little coverage, because few people care about her.
From Obama to Bush: Worst political gaffes
It mentions Obama's "special olympics" joke on Leno, but fails to mention any of his overlooked campaign gaffes like the "57 states" comment. It also mentions Biden's propensity to gaffes but only gives one example. OTOH is lists several of W's and even Dan Quayle. But what I found most ridiculous was this little gem:
But sometimes, gaffes are just bad, bad jokes gone awry: On August 11, 1984, then-President Ronald Reagan made an off-the-cuff remark while preparing for a radio address. Unaware that his microphone was on, Reagan jokingly said, "My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." Whoops.This characterization of Reagan's joke is bullSH*T. Perhaps the author is just ignorant, but either way, the account is inaccurate. Reagan was NOT unaware that his microphone was on. The joke was actually a microphone check, which up until this occasion had ALWAYS been treated by the media as an off-the-record comment. But on THIS OCCASION, the reporters present decided to report the comment rather than treating it as an off-the-record comment.
