This clip has run rampant on the ‘net for the past 48 hours. In it, Fox News Contributor Liz Trotta, commenting on the Democratic Primary, when criticizing Senator Clinton, “Some are reading [Senator Clinton’s comments] as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama…,uhh,…Obama… Well…both if we could!”

There is a whole lesson on hypocrisy here if you listen to the whole clip, as Trotta spends her time deriding Clinton, and when talking about Clinton’s RFK gaffe this week, says “Whether she meant it or not, she’s tone deaf!” Remember, you are the message, and if you accuse someone of something, you better make sure you aren’t guilty of it yourself.

From a public speaking perspective, it is obvious that Trotta’s thoughts had jumped ahead of her mouth, which happens to everyone, and is one of the main reasons that when speaking in public you take your time with words and PAUSE so that slips like this do not happen.

For all of those who believe that talking heads and pundits can get away with saying anything, watch how this plays out….
