DescriptionNew York Gov. David Paterson, after all those supposed bombshells in the New York Times earlier this year, found himself mostly out of the news lately except for a World Series ticket flap here and Park 51 news item there. Unluckily for him and luckily for those who like unfortunate televised slip-ups, though, that just changed.

Paterson released a statement today happily announcing his state received almost $700 million in Race to the Top educational stimulus funding. He also gave a speech on the matter, seemingly similar to the linked statement. However, when he reaches the part where he thanks President Barack Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan “for coming up with the Race to the Top concept,” he jumbled his words at a very inopportune time, and out came “Race to the Cock.”
