Tracking down that CNN clip (updated)
Our ‘Hillary’s Dubya moment‘ post was apparently shown on CNN last night around 7pm ET (thanks, El SD and RC):
… it was on The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. The voiceover called it …with her gaffe being called by some blogs as ‘Hillary’s Dubya Moment.’ Then there was a quick zoom shot of that post… [Link]
If anyone managed to snag a clip of the segment, I’d love to see it. Thanks.
Update: Shlok and El SD, take a bow. The brief mention is at 1:18. I like the bit at the very end where they yank a random passer-by off Columbus Circle, as they always do for fluff stories when they’re short on time: ‘Oh, he’s cute! Is he married?’

Hey, it was on The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer. The voiceover called it …with her gaffe “being called by some blogs as Hillary’s Dubya Moment.” Then there was a quick zoom shot of that post and “ultrabrown.com” on the top corner of the TV.
Thanks, buddy. That will make it much easier to track down.
At first glance, was it any of these segments? Didn’t see it.
One
Two
Three
Here are all transcripts for Wednesday.
congrats Manish and team..cool ultrabrown on cnn again..great…keep up good work..
I saw it this morning and I wondered if it was ultrabrown. I didn’t get good enough look but font seemed familiar. So, it WAS Ultrabrown!
Manish - it was featured towards the end in transcript three you linked above:
”
(voice-over): Now Hillary’s slipup has hit the Web, dubbed by some Hillary’s “W” moment — a reference to the time George W. Bush, then a presidential candidate, was asked who the president of Pakistan was. GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I can’t name the general.
”
Now do I get a cookie?
Found it. At 1:19.
Awesome stuff, Team Brown !!
You guys rock! I think you got a cookie, check your browser cache :)
so major! congrats
I’m really surprized that Hillary couldn’t pronounce the name right. There are no ‘two ways’ to pronounce ‘Medvedev’! Just the way you’d pronounce, say, Mendeleev, the inventor of the Periodic Table.
And it’s not like he’s the first famous Medvedev or anything - there were the famous Medvedev twins who were dissident authors during the Cold War and later advisers to Gorbachev etc.
chachaji, I wasn’t so concerned that she couldn’t pronounce it, but that she was so flippantly dismissive of him, and her ability to say his name correctly after spending months telling us how much experience she has (I guess the next President of Russia isn’t too important).
On the other hand, I am continually impressed that Barrack always pronounces places like Pakistan, Iraq, and Iran correctly. It’s not so much that he can do it (they all could) it’s that he’s not afraid to say it right and not be a Ivy League educated, world leader who pretends they don’t know how to say foriegn names.
Right, I’m surprized that she would say something like ‘whatever’ at the end - openly displaying a level of arrogance and a certain intolerant exasperation at the questioner. How might she behave when she actually has power?
BTW, in this case she genuinely didn’t know, I don’t think she was pretending to be a good old girl who doesn’t know how to pronounce ‘foreign names’.
By Hillary’s model of competence-via-proximity, Laura Bush is more qualified than Barack Obama.
tiny steps manish-o….
tiny steps… today hill’s dubya moment, tomorrow the world.
