This also really frustrates me! Just another lame attempt to pick at and on JK, I feel. Especially since he corrected himself literally not even a minute afterwards. As you say, ANYONE can get a name or a fact wrong from time to time, even about something they know or care a lot about (JK has, in his words, been a lifelong hockey fan, there are pics of him from around the age of 15 if not younger playing the sport, etc). Kerry's mistake was not about something of importance in relation to his job, the way Brown's recent gaffes about VERY important matters, VERY intrical to his job were and are. Yet this is getting press? :thumbsdown:

It actually reminds me a lot of how they picked on Martha Coakley about something similar during her campaign against Brown (though I don't recall if she corrected herself so quickly as did JK? But still..). I get that the Sox, the Bruins, etc are a big deal in MA. But I'm sorry, to use things like this as political weapons or even critique, I feel, is really dumb...and talk about a "distraction"! And anyone who actually votes based on things like this should really think about what they are doing before going to the ballot box. (NOT talking about anyone here! But critics on the right, the press, and in general who make hay of silly things like this).

"Checking the source"..my what a different world we'd live in if more people actually bothered to do that! *facepalm*
