Understatement History Month

Just now, I had MSNBC on in the background, and I heard President Bush, who's giving a speech about Black History Month, welcoming his guests. He thanked Al Sharpton and his wife for being there, and someone shouted that it was actually Sharpton's daughter. "Daughter!" said Bush. "Daughter." Then after a moment of soaking in the embarrassment with a sheepish look on his face, Bush looked toward Sharpton and said, "I don't get 'em right all the time."
