"Ozzie Davis"?????
I'm listening to the news on AAR.

The announcer just reported on a story about *.

Says the moron was giving condolences remarks about Ossie Davis, and kept referring to him as "Ozzie Davis".

As Bugs Bunny would say: "What a maroon!!"

8. Did you expect the doofus who waved to Stevie Wonder to be
concerned with getting a name correct?

10. Au contraire. As reported by Lloyd Grove in the Washington
Post, March 6, 2002:

"Here's a vignette we're dying to see on the ABC broadcast of Sunday's Ford Theatre Presidential Gala: When Stevie Wonder sat down at the keyboard center stage, President Bush in the front row got very excited. He smiled and started waving at Wonder, who understandably did not respond. After a moment Bush realized his mistake and slowly dropped his errant hand."

I suppose that I should check snopes to see if this was debunked in any way.

11. Snopes gives it a "not really"
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bushwave.htm

<excerpt a paragraph>

After running the item as true and being challenged upon it by the Ford's Theatre Artistic Director, who was seated by the President that night and didn't at all recall this incident, Washington Post writer Lloyd Grove delved further into the story. Editors working on turning film of that event into a television special (which is scheduled to air April 12) went frame by frame through the video captured by the "presidential isocam" (as the camera trained on Bush is called). At the point where Wonder was getting settled behind his keyboard, Bush briefly raised his palm and smiled. The gesture was not the excited, enthused wave it is now comically portrayed to be; it was a small motion of the sort one routinely makes to an acquaintance across a crowded room. Moreover, the motion appears to have been directed at Kelsey Grammer, the emcee of the evening.
