And this is why I don't watch Sunday's bobblehead shows. MTP has become more clownish every week.
On Sunday, "Meet the Press" host David Gregory offered an innocent but humorous slip-up, accidentally accusing former Republican Utah Governor and current China Ambassador Jon Huntsman of having an affair.
Gregory was going through the list of potential Republican presidential candidates and their various shortcomings when he exchanged Huntsman's name for that of Senator John Ensign (R-N.V.), who has admitted to an affair with a former staffer.
"Jon Huntsman has hurt his chances with an affair that came out," said Gregory. "Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Ensign, [Mike] Huckabee. Excuse me. I said Huntsman. I meant Ensign. There was no affair with Jon Huntsman. He was taken out, has gone over to China to be ambassador. Excuse me. Excuse me."
Sufficiently embarrassed, Gregory felt the need to revisit and re-apologize for his verbal slip-up later in the segment.
"I just want to make sure everyone heard that that I misspoke when it came to Jon Huntsman," he said. "My apologies. No family turmoil there."
At which point, prominent Republican strategist Mike Murphy chimed in: "Mrs. Huntsman is on the other line."
