Harry-My point wasn't whether TJ was a hypocrite, or not. The teacher expressed these "opinions" to 7 or 8 year old children. Kind of sophisticated material for that age group. They can't even define "hypocrite" at that age, let alone understand the concept. Might be better suited to jr high and high school age kids. The same teacher made the milk comment, also.

They can't even get their hair looking OK on our local news channels

Yeah but I think the poster was suggesting that even those in charge of the teleprompters have terrible English.

I don't doubt that. Evidently, though, the people in front of the camera aren't intelligent enough to know the difference.
