"At a recent dinner party hosted by New York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd, Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller, Rice was reportedly overheard saying, 'As I was telling my husb-' and then stopping herself abruptly, before saying, 'As I was telling President Bush.'"

Byrne http://www.majordojo.com/ A recent story making its rounds is about a little faux pas made by our very own National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice, in which she called Georgie-boy her "husband." Under most circumstances I wouldn't think much of this little slip, as on a rare occasion while thinking "I can't forget to get flowers for my wife," while simultaneously having a conversation with a friend, I may inadvertently provoke a little spoonerism on my part. But I wouldn't call these "normal" circumstances because Condi doesn't have a husband. In fact, she has never had a husband. So why on earth did she ever even think the word "husband," much less associate the word with George?]]> Update: May 19, 2004: I just found this Boondocks cartoon...
