Dell gets presidential product placement?
During the press conference today, the president made what some felt was an odd reference to computer manufacturer Dell: Link to video. (Thanks, Sean Bonner)
Reader comment: Rodney Gardner says,
The official transcript at whitehouse.gov (Link) doesn’t have the “Dell” in it. “And it's tough in a time of war when people see carnage on their television screens.” I think you could make the argument that it was sort of a stutter, like he started to say “television”, but said it with a “d”, stopped himself, then started over. But I don’t think the video shows that at all.At the risk of over-stating the obvious: This would not be the first time that President Bush has mis-spoken. It's conceivable that this was a shout-out to a homie who's donated heavily. But if evidence revealed by a quick search of The Google is any indication, it's also conceivably a mistake.
