This is a piece of irony that's just too rich to ignore. Now, follow along children.

As we all know (unless we were living in the deep woods), last week Senator Clinton mouthed the mother of all misspeaks. In it, she raised the spector of Bobby Kennedy's assassination (days after Ted Kennedy announced that he has a malignant brain tumor) and, according to the pundit mill, the possibility that Senator Obama might be offed as well (which I don't believe was her intent at all).

Now, we skip merrily along to Fox News. In a puzzling interchange, Liz Trotta confused Obama with Osama saying, "Some are reading [it] as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama." When host Bill Hemmer quickly corrected her, she graciously replied, "Obama. Well...both would be good."

Watch it for yourself.

Was it just me?

Hat tip to Don Sherfick for pointing this out to me (and giving me indigestion).
