Egads! Fire that staffer or the printer! That’s just crazy. I wonder if Jonathan was asked to proof the flyer.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

To the pist,

You cant write inportant things that are cridical to explainning who you are and mispell the simplist of words, or have refferences be wrong to family members’ rolls.

I’ll bee the first to reedily admit I can’t spell all thats great, or even use the coorect English either, but really, whose reading anything Im writing anyways.

I stills give it a “B-“

Distancing himself from the family scandals?

“I hardly know those people. I can’t even spell their names.”

“I stand by my misspellings” — me, parodying Dan Quayle’s famous quip.
How can anyone take a candidate seriously with this many mistakes in a simple mailer or handout??

==Fire that staffer or the printer==

In his(or her) defense, it was Jussie on the first draft.
