LOSER: House Minority Leader Representative John Boehner (R-OH) for quoting from the preamble to the Declaration of Independence but saying he was quoting from the preamble to the United States Constitution at a rally in Washington Thursday.
LOSER: MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow (UH-OH) for going one step too far in correcting Rep. Boehner by claiming the Constitution doesn't have a preamble, which it does. It's the part at the front that has the really big "W" on the first word.
WINNERS: We, the people, for being able to strike two more yammering yammerheads off the list of those whose opinions we're supposed to listen to just because they happened to be in front of a camera when they gave them.
Update 11/7 -- Ms. Maddow fessed up to her boo-boo and played the Schoolhouse Rock clip "Preamble" to boot. Kudos.
