Covering Pres. Obama's Afghanistan presser, Brian Williams said President REAGAN just concluded!

I did NOT hear a correction, but might have missed it, as I switched to CNN in disgust. Why, oh why, does MSNBC keep hiring these incompetent bozos??? And my next example is Andrea Mitchell. There are so many others, including Morning Jerk and Mika Mouse.......

...was making my breakfast in the kitchen and thought I heard him say that. I went and got the remote and backed it up and, yup sure enough, he said it.

Wonder why and in what context he would be reading the name "Reagan" at the particular moment...smh at him anyways.

MoonRiver, I couldn't agree with you more about Mrs. Greenspan and the Boobsey Twins.

They could easily have whispered "correct that" and he could have slapped his forehead and said "sorry about that" and, well, he'd have been excoriated anyway because that's what people do nowadays.
