FTR, my conservative friends deny categorically that this ever happened. Apparently this is a whole-cloth creation of the liberal media.
I have a word game! What are common words or phrases that get mistaken for near-homonyms, and how serious are they? "Duck tape" for "duct tape" doesn't really bug me, but "tact" for "tack" (as in "try a different") does. My niece says "next store" instead of "next door."
The one that really just floored me? "It would be who of us [to do something]"

Your conservative friends have had too much Kool-Aid. I mean, JEB CRIED AT THE FRIKKIN NEWS CONFERENCE.
My conservative friends acknowledge it happened and say that this makes the Bushes "normal," since they have the same familial problems as the rabble.
To which I reply, "Yeah, it's SOOOO hard for me to choose between the Kennebunkport place or the Houston house for my massive political fundraiser."

Um.... no.
My stepfather, and a stage manager I worked for, both say "renember". Every. Single. Time. I want to smack them and say "THERE'S NO 'N' IN THE WORD!"
