What's that president-elect guy's name?
by Jeff Inglis  |  November 18, 2008

Even as WGME News 13 anchor Kim Block introduced a story about an anti-Barack Obama sign in Standish on last night's newscast, she blew the president-elect's name.

"A sign encouraging general store customers in Standish to place a bet on when Barack Osama - when Barack Obama, rather - could be assassinated is sending shock waves across the nation," Block said.

 

Read the story, and link to the full-size video from WGME's Web site.

They also botched the location of the Oak Hill Store in the map they show at the beginning of the story: as Kim Block says "at the Oak Hill Store on Route 25 in Standish," the map zooms in to... downtown Cornish.

Eh, those racist backwaters are all the same anyhow.

Stay classy, TV.

It's very annoying that this clip plays when you load the page, whether you want it to or not.
