House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday misspoke when she said that a Democratic bill in the House on police reform, named after George Floyd, was worthy of “George Kirby’s name.”

Pelosi meant to refer to Floyd, who died in police custody last month and whose death sparked calls for reforms to policing across the country. George Kirby was a black comedian and singer who died in 1995.

Are she and Joe in a contest?

[Borges]

[McGavin999]

I guess she thinks they all look alike

[Texas Eagle]

Coulda been worse. Coulda been worthy of Pink Floyd’s name.

[Hugh the Scot]

For once, I agree with her.

[decal]

Wasn’t he also the role Cary Grant played in “Topper”?

Are she and Joe in a contest?

Or Floyd the Barber.

My first thought was the ghost in the Topper movie/TV series. Nancy is of an age where that might have been her thought too.

Geo. Kirby was funnier’n hell.

[rfp1234]

Someone needs to introduce a “25th Amendment” for Congressional leaders.

[Richard Axtell]

Certainly right! And they say she does the work of two men, Laurel and Hardy!

[an amused spectator]

To be fair - they all look alike to Granny Winebox...

[Professional]

It’s not like she misspelled potato...

[Texas Eagle]

Dammit. I was trying to think of that guy’s name.

[SaveFerris]

[I guess (Nancy Pelosi) thinks they all look alike]

Thread winner.

[Texas Eagle]

Or George Jefferson’s name for that matter.

[LouieFisk]

She obviously meant to say "Durward Kirby".

They both are pushing 80. Mentally they are over 100.

Ditto. I know a number of 80-year olds who are nowhere near that feeble.
