This morning, after getting my son to school, I flipped on the television to catch up on the news (I'd been out of town for several days). The TV happened to be tuned to the local NBC affiliate here in Nashville. The Today Show was on, and as they went into the commercial break, they announced that Michael Schiavo would be on when they returned. So, I settled in to hear what he had to say.
The first thing that really caught my ear was at the very beginning of his interview with Matt Lauer. He commented that "the President, the governor of Florida, and the Pope were knocking at my book.....I'm sorry.....my door........"
I wondered if he was nervous and simply misspoke, or was that a sort of "Freudian slip"......as in, was this appearance really to set the record straight about Terri, (as he stated at the outset), or was it simply to promote the sale of his new book, "Terri: The Truth"?
I dunno--I just thought it made for kind of an "interesting" mistake......

Thanks for the link!
I've lived all the same places you have! Sort of.
Never lived in Nashville, but I'm just a couple of hours away, Lenoir City.
Lived in Rossville GA, from the ages of 12-15, Titusville FL, from the ages of 8-11 and 21-24.
Oh yeah. I saw that too. I didn't have the sense to see it as a freudian slip though.
In my unprofessional observation, usually such "mistakes" are not really mistakes. It sounded like a plug to me... but then, apparently I can tend to be unjustly judgemental in the eyes of some, a realist in the eyes of others.
Jeremy-You're welcome!! I've meant to do a blog roll for some time, but just recently got around to it. Yours was one of the first I had wanted to have on my link list.
Thank you SO much for stopping by!
Oh, and Jeremy--if you lived in Rossville, then you are familiar with the mother of all cheesy amusement parks, Lake Winnepesaukah (which is frighteningly similiar to the fictional lake resort town, "Lake Winnepesauki" from the movie, "What About Bob?") :-)
The thrill of the rides at Lake Winnepesaukah was hoping they didn't fly apart while you were riding. Sort of a 'cheating death' experience!
