Say them out loud, although not on radio or television. They claim that the National Transportation Safety Board provided the names. Yeah, right.
UPDATE: Amazingly enough, NTSB did provide those names. The intern responsible, one guesses, has another job now. Perhaps chief of protocol for the State Department.

ReplyDeletePresumably there is one less summer intern at the NTSB.
The incompetence is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteSure, I know, I don't like the current President ... but it can't all be my imagination that the incompetence level is at an all time high.
I wonder if the intern may have been Hugh G. Rection, a graduate student under the tutelage of Prof. Jacques Mihoff?
ReplyDeleteIf you read carefully I think it says the summer intern "confirmed" the names. As I read it, a prankster pulled a fast one on both the TV Station AND the NTSB when the TV station attempted to verify.
ReplyDeleteWas it really a "summer intern" who verified? Perhaps. Or perhaps the summer intern was the NTSB's scapegoat.
The current story is that the NTSB confirmed the names not that it provided them. Personally I find it hard to believe that this was an innocent mistake by the intern.
ReplyDeleteHe has probably been moved over to the State Department; they have positions for young persons of high imagination.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Let's just hope this intern doesn't get hired by anyone after they graduate college!
ReplyDeleteI should have added I'm sure one of the late night talk shows will hire them. They would fit in with any of those shows.
ReplyDeleteThe "intern" has a future writing comedy.
ReplyDeleteAs offensive as this might be, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it on You Tube.
I'm not sure if I was laughing at the names or the anchor who was reading them totally oblivious to the comedic nature of them.
