I heard it clearly this morning when Mitt introduced Paul.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next president of the United States, Paul Ryan."
Today, about 3.00-ish on a CBS feed on DC's WTOP, they were doing the story of Mitt's tapping Paul for his veep.
As the voice over kept telling the story, they played what they portrayed (by context, but not by specific description) as the actual introduction many of us heard this morning. Except, in this version, Mitt got it right: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next vice president of the United States, Paul Ryan."
The "liberal" news media sucks.
See, here's the thing. It was a gaffe. Hahahaha. Then its over. No one will bring it up again.
But Oh No.
Not Mr. Thin Skin.
I'm sure Mitt's good buddies with whoever at CBS controls this sort of thing, this news scrubbing.
The mediamotherfuckers make me sick.

(36,974 posts)one of the blonde talking head hosts said: " ... listen very closely to Romney's slip-up ..."
then when the played the clip they used a different part of Romney's introduction were he actually said 'vice-president' (not the part where the gaffe really was)
then after that they played a clip of the Obama slip-up.
It really pissed me off that they didn't use the correct Romney clip of him saying ".. the next president .."

(18,312 posts)I was like "Wait...I saw this live this AM and he said next PRESIDENT"...verified on DU when I heard it. The clip they played had him saying "next vice president"....I thought they were being too coy by half.
