    She did it three different times., three different interviews.. wasn't a accidental slip of the tongue.

    Do you really believe that? It doesn't even make sense. So you think she meant to say "They terrorists were two of the masterminds behind the Bowling Green terrorists."? That doesn't even make sense. Not to mention she said the same thing in other interviews on separate occasions.

    This explanation has been heard, examined on the merits and rejected a couple of pages back. This excuse is paper-thin. It might have been an accident that she got speaking points that were untrue and she didn't check before saying them in public, but she didn't misspeak in 3 interviews. It reminds me a lot, actually, of the infamous Beghazi-murder-blamed-on-a-movie thing.

    It's Atlanta's turn...

    Only recent bombings involving Atlanta were the white christian pipe bombing at the 1996 Olympics and this past Sunday...though that was actually here in Houston.

    Appears she fooled you....and your take is why she can be considered pretty damn smart in how to use alt-facts to confuse and mask what is truth and what is not.

    Maybe Spicy is referring to Sherman's March in the Civil War?
    or
    Maybe Spicy has a side contract with SNL to keep feeding them excellent material?

    Hard to figure.

    Later clarification was that he meant Orlando and misspoke. That one is actually a credible case of accidentally saying the wrong word. They're both big south-eastern towns. It's like calling your daughter the dog's name. What Conway did might have been an honest (but negligent) mistake (maybe), but it wasn't a misspeak like this one probably was.

    Though, like Conway, he repeated the "misspoke" three times over the course of two days. And, even if you accept the misspoke excuse, the terrorist in the Orlando case was born in the United States... so using Orlando as support of Trump's Muslim Immigration Ban is wrong as it would have not prevented him from doing it.

    There's something about bowling on greens I find intriguing. I'll have to try that. Thanks, Conway!

    While a valid excuse, it's still an insight into their incompetence that no one, in the days between the times he said "Atlanta" corrected him...and that they keep screwing up and being focused on the dumbest s***.
