The "PUBIC" Kay Bailey Hutchison!!!!!

Sometimes books get pulled due to massive and widespread plagiarism. And sometimes they get pulled for more amusing reasons. Consider what happened to Leaving Women Behind : Modern Families Outdated Laws:

There is a misspelled word in the Foreward by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican from Texas. On page vii of her brief 2-page Foreword, Senator Hutchison’s 2nd of 5 paragraphs begins:
“Despite these remarkable changes, and the major progress women have made in obtaining equality in the workplace, our pubic policy institutions have not kept pace.”

The word should have been public. Can you imagine the discussions between the senator’s staff and the publisher when they found out? Can’t help but feel for the people whose job it was to proofread that piece at both ends...

Priceless!!!!

when you use spellcheck and don't read it instead. Spellcheck only catches mispelled words-not out of context or grammatical errors.

and, here we have whole institutions dedicated to pubic policy.

:evilgrin:

TEA (Texas Education Agency) has an auto correct on computers to solve this problem. It's quite simple. Always correct "pubic" to "public." This works unless you really use the word "pubic" a lot. (Lots of opportunities for pubic school systems.)

Also, another one for Texas agencies: type is "shit" and get "shut." Once upon a time, before auto correct, a regulatory agency for oil threatened to "shit" in a company's holes if compliance wasn't met.

Actually, I'm glad she didn't have auto correct.

been read much.

you know how Republicans are about sex...

And I always thought she went Brazilian

:rofl:

She was on a SUN morning show last OCT and this outfit was cracking me up due to how it suggested nipple rings (I know they're way high, but still kinda funny):

Old K.B.H. gets busy

as I try and keep down my breakfast, thanks to the image of Kinky Kay getting bizzay. ::hwarf:: HAHAHAHa

spell checking does not help all the time, no proofreading was done. What a mistake, pubic for public. Very bad.

Gawd pubed the x cheerleader?

Beloved *unt.

:rofl:

p.s. Pukes should stay out of our pubic policies if ya ask me.
