Okay, today’s lesson is to test how well you’ve been paying attention. Listed below are gaffes uttered by a prominent politician. Your task is to choose whether the gaffe was committed by: a) George W. Bush, b) Sarah Palin, or c) Joe the Plumber (no, he’s not a politician, but he’s been in the political limelight).<\/p>\n

Our person in question:<\/p>\n

  1. Made the claim that the 1908 Model T had better fuel efficiency than a typical 2008 SUV.<\/li>\n
  2. Repeatedly pronounced the word Orion as “OAR-ee-on”.<\/li>\n
  3. Referred to Great Britain as England.<\/li>\n
  4. Referred to the “Austrian” language.<\/li>\n
  5. Thought that the nation of Turkey is older than the U.S.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
