Nice!

I read the article and, yeah it was a goofy historical-geographical mistake on Congresswoman’s part, but a small one. They just love playing Gotcha! Maybe we should accuse them of misogyny, since a certain Congresswoman accused her critics of raaaaacism when she thought the Astronauts landed on Mars.

“The Congressional bonehead award goes to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) who, on a visit to JPL, asked if Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong! Quipped Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) to the Washington Times: “We just don’t teach enough science.” Worse, Jackson Lee, who represents Houston, is a member of the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee. Perhaps some committee reassignments are in order…”

New Hamshire: Middle Earth, just down the road from The Shire. Reputed to be the home of pig farmers…

Bachmann is a gaffe-prone egomaniac whose presidential campaign would take votes away from Herman Cain and give us Romney or T-Paw instead.

Joe, there is a Concord, New Hampshire , too. It’s the Capital.

This is a perfect example of liberal, whizzing their pants, in a hurry to prove that a conservative like Bachmann is stupid.

What’s the old saying? Haste makes waste?

That’s the irony of someone who tries hard to prove she is smart. You got it right the first time, actually. Your acknowledgment of a gaffe is a gaffe though, not knowing the meanings of capital (in the context) and capitol.

Is it that he blows the other Gawker staff pretty hard?

time for a dusting of troll-b-gone.

I’ll give her a break, she wasn’t alive when that happened. Reagan OTOH would not be forgiven for that mistake.

I can understand why she was mistaken, how many Massaholes would stand up for freedom today?

Mary,

You were correct the first time. the capital of the state but the Capitol Bldg in Washington, DC

And of course, Gawker has already corrected the spelling without *saying* they had to correct it. Hypocritical Jackasses.

And though I might have missed it, there was not one mention of the misspelling it in the Gawker comments…unlikely…

I don’t care. I love Michelle and Sarah simply because they make lefty’s heads explode.

….the Capitol Bldg in Washington, DC

That would be the United States Capitol. The New Hampshire Capitol, though, is in Concord.

Which is no surprise, given the capitol building of any state (and the country) is always located in their respective capitals.

I dont see the part where she accused her critics of raaaacism.

TheOtherMcCain readers. We knew Gawker would “correct it,” as soon as they discovered the typo. That’s why we took a screen shot of the mistake. It’s up at Libertarian Republican. Linked in this article.

There is no such thing as a “capitol building”. “Capitol” is not a word. It’s the proper name of a specific building in Washington, and also of several buildings in various USA state capitals that were named after it. It could also be the name of my house, if I were to choose to call it that. But it remains a proper name, not a common noun.
