You say Osama, I Say Obama..Let's call the whole Thing Off

Sure it was an "honest" mistake when the MSNBC graphics person just happened to put up a picture of Osama Bin Laden instead of Barack Obama during yesterday's "Hardball with Chris Matthews." It is the same kind of honest mistake that happened some years ago when an on-air commentator's name was conveniently and erroneously spelled with and extra G in the middle, live on MSNBC. Sure, if your name is Douglas, an extra "G" in the middle isn't a big problem. But just imagine if you were named after some African country, like Niger--now famous for the non-existent yellow cake uranium and aluminium tubes. Yes. That country. Yes. That extra G actually made it on air.
Now if I were the person who had typed up that name and saw the extra "G", that would have given me pause. Sure I know that some African-American folks have taken very creative license with their children's names(Lexus, Nokia,Corolla and even Ureena). But surely even if I thought that someone's mamma was crazy enough to name their kid that, I would have just decided to err on the side of caution and forego the extra "G" .
Certainly there can be no conspiracy to link good brother Obama with bad brother Osama at NBC or any other powerful media conglomerate? Can there?
Have some compassion! Put yourself in the graphic guy's shoes: All them brothers look alike. Everybody's at risk. Mitt "misspoke." Heck, even Ted Kennedy, who endorsed Brother B.O. can't seem to tell him apart from the Saudi Satan!
See it for yourself.
