headline from BBC Online’s RSS Feed: “Barack Obama’s Wife Clarifies ‘Pathetic’ TV Blunder”
headline from the article: “Obama’s Wife in ‘Pathetic’ Gaffe”
then when you READ THE ACTUAL ARTICLE, it is revealed that she did not use the word at all – she was in fact misheard while saying her husband was empathetic. if you read the transcript it makes more sense in context – the alleged comment does not.
that’s why you should read the guardian or the independent instead, kiddiwinks.
