What’s in a Word? HuffPo’s Rachel Sklar Has Thoughts

By Chris Ariens 

Yes. it happened again. Osama mistaken for Obama…last night on Hardball, of all places. Our blog-lleague Rachel Sklar has some thoughts on it.

Poor Chris Matthews looked stricken after he said that, possibly because it’s not the first time the old Obama-Osama switcheroo has shown up on Hardball. But honestly, it’s really no big deal. If he says that he gets a thrill up his leg every time he watches a bin Laden tape, fine. Go for the jugular. But there are gotchas that matter and there are gotchas that don’t, and this falls firmly into the latter category.
