Possible ‘Third Infrittata,’ tongue-tied MSNBC anchor says

[alsame]

On MSNBC’s “Now with Alex Wagner,” anchor Luke Russert has an amusing slip of the tongue when discussing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Referring to the possibility of a third Palestinian uprising, Russert stumbles over the word intifada, Arabic for “shaking off,” instead appearing to refer to a Third Infrittata.

A frittata is an Italian dish made with fried beaten eggs, similar to a Spanish omelet.

2. I remember Ted Koppel reporting on the first one which consisted of stone-throwing.

I had forgotten about the Moltov cocktails. Dangerous nonetheless.

8. Is that a metathesis, spoonerism, or malapropism?

I can't remember which is which.
