The Crown Prince of Malaprop

Steve Chaggaris of CBS News reports:

On Wednesday, Kerry made his third visit to Green Bay, WI, this year and made it a point to focus on the main thing the city revolves around: football and the Green Bay Packers...

As he was taking questions from the audience, he referred to the legendary Packers stadium, Lambeau Field (which has been called that for 39 years) as ‘Lambert Field.’

If the voters catch wind of that gaffe, it could take Kerry another three visits to Green Bay to make up for it.

And just think – he left out effusive praise for the Packers’ legendary coach, Vince Lomberti, and their all-pro quarterback, Bert Favre.

I dunno; maybe Mr. French should give up on football and go back to polo references instead.
