What’s In A Name?

October 26, 2009

MSNBC anchor, Contessa Brewer, made a major faux pas on live television.  While reporting on Brian Griffiths comments regarding high salaries at Goldman Sachs, she segued to her guest, Rev. Jesse Jackson.  However, she called him Rev. Al Sharpton while sharing  a split-screen with him where all viewers could plainly see she made an error.  When she finished speaking Rev. Jackson paused approximately two and a half seconds to allow her to correct herself.  When she did not, he made the correction and that prompted an awkward apology on her behalf


Brewer said the teleprompter was to blame
For calling Reverend Jackson the wrong name
He kept his emotions locked
But we were all shocked
To her do all black people look the same?
