Funny how they had to consolidate all the Tea bagger signs into one link.

"Amercia." Well, his Daddy was Mexican, and "Amercia" *sounds* Spanish, so....

The list is "10 greatest", not "10,000 most idiotic"...

Just happy that Morans made the list. Always a classic in my book.

I don't know how funny this thread really is.

I still can't get over the pitching matchup between two pricks today. The Washington Nationals' Wang goes up against the Miami Marlins' Johnson.

In 2010, an Illinois Green Party gubernatorial candidate name's was spelled "Rich Whitey" on electronic voting machines stationed in numerous majority-black Chicago wards.

My personal favorite.

The fact that people "don't care" about a few misspellings only speaks to the total success of the dumbing down of America. Or I guess it's now Amercia.

Wasn't "get a brain morans" guy actually a comedian or someone doing a counter protest, or a bit, and the whole thing was intentional?

Am I correct in seeing that all of these are misspellings by Republicans? Do Dems never misspell words?

(The Rich Whitey mistake isn't attributable to any particular party.)

Read. It was a green party candidate in a black district. How can you not say republicans weren't behind trying to prevent people from voting for him.

7. An attack ad against Republican Scott Brown authorized by Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley and paid for by the state's Democratic Party spelled the state the two were competing to represent in the Senate as "Massachusettes." The error became the least embarrassing aspect of the Coakley campaign.

Of course Obama misspells Syracuse on ESPN.

and thanks a supporter for "good advise"

and tells of his "Twitters" account

Probably won't make the list at Comedy Central, though.

Give the poor guy a break. English is a second language for the Indian or Chinese programmers to which his campaign off-shored the app development.

Just like he'll be doing as president.

I've heard that claim. I've never found any such information though, just speculation.

Not that I want to dwell on anything relating to Santorum's pubic schedule, but come on, it should have been obvious to put him at #2.

That one and the 'SANTORUM'S PUBIC SCHEDULE' one at #3, I'm torn between which one is truly funnier. It's not east to do, they both make me lol...

Right. Because overzealous staffers and Twitter are so responsible for political signs, ad campaigns, misspelled ballots, press passes; plus, how "rushed" do you have to be to misspell your own country, state or name?

It's stupidity, carelessness, and what's even sadder is that people say "there are bigger things to worry about." OK, how about the state of education in Amercia? Get used to the spelling, because it's really nothing to worry about.

Maybe they should have just said we're pre-emptively not using any of the Tea Party signs because they would easily take every spot in the top 20 on their own.

Perhaps it is because none of those words are misspelled.

It is true that the (correctly spelled) words make no sense when combined in that sentence, but that is an issue with grammar, rather than spelling.

Are you saying the Republicans would have preferred the people of that district to vote instead for the party more commonly associated with their demographic?

No, professor, it's because the Tea party has its own link. If they listed them all separately the list would be unmanageable.

If you are trying to spell "dissent" and write "descent", it is still a misspelling. Even if what you wrote is a properly spelled word, It is not the word you were trying to spell. In other words, you'd get booted from the spelling bee for that.

Let's see how the analysis breaks down:

1 out of 10: Moran
1 out of 10: Democrat
1 out of 10: Green Party
1 out of 10: Tea Party
6 out of 10: Republicans

Surprising results, with no discernable bias whatsoever.


Remember Obama mispronouncing "corpsman"?
