You know, with all the focus on Barack Obama, you really can’t blame a liberal for making this mistake. However, it doesn’t make it any less funny when it happens.
On Thursday’s “The View,” the ladies were having a discussion about Britney Spears, and where she could go to escape all the paparazzi and attention. Co-host Joy Behar proudly exclaimed: “She needs to go wherever Obama bin Laden is hiding, because we can’t find him!” (video available here courtesy of our friend Ms Underestimated).
At that point, Rosie O'Donnell asked surprisedly: “Obama bin Laden?”
Joy confusedly asked, “What’s his name?” Barbara Walters then corrected Behar as the audience broke out in laughter and applause.
Rosie saved the day by making a mock public service announcement to a wildly enthusiastic crowd: “We would like to apologize to all of the Obamas in America who felt offended by Joy’s slip of the tongue.”
Honestly, could you boil water with the combined intelligence quotient of these panel members?

Now what if a conservative would have made that "oops!"???
February 22, 2007 - 20:55 ET by Amanda JusticeThis is hysterical! Thanks, Noel.... I love it! These knuckleheads are such mental midgets it's amazing they even have an audience. Although I think Rosie coming onboard stole some of Jerry Springer's audience.
And only Joy Behar could bring politics into a discussion about Britney.
Notice how she said we can't
February 23, 2007 - 10:25 ET by DRM 23Notice how she said we can't find OBL. Well, if you go by liberal thinking, he must have never existed. When we did not find WMD's, the left say they weren't there. Maybe Natalee Holloway never was in the Carribbean, since we can't locate her either. I don't want to get scolded about women again, so I will just say Behar looks like she's been on a ten day drunk......and that's on a good day. Talks like one also.

February 22, 2007 - 20:59 ET by dabalThis has now happened several times. I'm not sure why, yet, but I'm fairly certain that there's a group of women out there that don't want Obama to beat Hillary and are making sure by associating Osama and Obama to the average braindead viewer of Rosie O'Dimwit's "show", and a few other spots.
While the mainstream feminists have to applaud a black liberal candidate, they certainly won't ever vote for him over a woman. Perhaps that's the reason, as simplistic as it is.
Noel, if these 'slips' aren't deliberate, they are a problem.

It's gonna put a big damper on these useful idiot references to Bin Laden used to cutely slam Bush.
It's gonna put a big damper on Obama's candidacy because if the 'people' are really as stupid as these Liberals think they are then they will never vote for the guy based on his name alone.

February 22, 2007 - 21:37 ET by Noel SheppardACA,
Well, there are two ways of looking at this. On the one hand, you could state that any reference to Obama is a positive one, for it increases his name recognition which of course is an issue going against Hillary.
On the other hand, you could view such recognition tied with bin Laden as potentially negative.
Tough to tell which is the case at this point, correct? ns

February 22, 2007 - 21:41 ET by acaiguanaI disagree. I have said from the gitgo that his name would kill him.
I've never been one to believe that 'any publicity' is good. But that's just me.
I do see your point. But we've got 20.3 months left until November 2008.
But I think if you check it out a lot of people know someone named O''''' something is running for President.
I'd say look for a buncha propaganda based on how unfair it would be to discriminate against someone just over their name on the ballot. But when people see that name on a ballot, I think it will take more than just a whim to mark an 'X' next to it.
Just my thoughts.

February 23, 2007 - 00:00 ET by BeukeboomBarack Obama and Osama bin Laden had better get used to the slips of the tongue. It's gonna happen a lot more before it's all over. Maybe he can change his name to Frank. And Obama can keep his name.

February 23, 2007 - 08:40 ET by ecnirP"What's his name?" Ah, how convenient to forget about Osama bin Laden now that we have weighty matters like Britney and Anna to really worry about on "The View."
By the way, has anyone else noticed that we seemed to have moved away from the alternate spelling "Usama" now that Obama is so prominent? Interesting.

February 23, 2007 - 12:04 ET by midnight cowboyThis is the same (aging) bimbo that just recently wedged her foot in her mouth with her Rumsfeld / Hitler comment, now she back again shoving her foot deeper.
First it was Teddy "Olsmobile" Kennedy, then CNN a couple of times, now this ignoramus who doesn't engage her brain before her mouth, that all called Obama Osama. But it was Rush who took the heat when her parodied it.

You actually go on and on about something like this?
February 23, 2007 - 15:18 ET by MidwestMamaNew to this blog today I thought there might be something worth reading on it. But I find that instead you go on and on about a silly slip of the tongue, trying to actually relate it in some way to ..... let's see .... feminism, possible intentional slamming of Bush, Republican bashing and on and on ad nauseum.
Can we spell paranoid? I am wondering from whence your next conspiracy theories will spring. HAR!

February 23, 2007 - 15:32 ET by acaiguanaAh, MidwestMama - must be the Liberal Talking point at NB.
First MoebusStrip complains about the lack of real media bias coverage here and now you saying everyone is 'paranoid' over a 'silly slip of the tongue.'
What's that all about?
Anyway, the View, which is a TV show, consistently parrots Liberal Talking points and allows silly people like Rosie platforms to attack our troops; our will to fight; and to give support to the enemy by allowing them to believe that in time, the US will just cave in and leave Iraq.
So, here is a woman babbling on about the media darling, the next 'Dear Leader' of the MSM and the Democrat Party; who can do no wrong; who is clean; articulate; and well...
Just the Second Coming.
And she makes a natural mistake and butchers his name, similar to what Teddy did.
And you think we are paranoid? Naw.
We think it is funny. Most of the posters here think it was funny. We are poking fun at it.
Get over it.
And while you are scratching in your closet of umbridge over the site and its posters making fun of this twit; try to find a sense of humor.
huh?
