My morning…

So because it was drizzling this morning, I caught the shuttle bus from the Ford building over to Longworth on my walk into work.

The nice bus driver lady had on Majic 102.3 (no, not kidding, ‘Majic’ with a ‘J”) and the Tom Joyner Morning Show was on.

Today’s guest was comedian/actor D.L. Hughley.  In speaking about last night’s Dem Convention, D.L. says “I mean, it’s historic, 40 years after the JFK I Have a Dream speech….”

…at that point I stopped listening.

First off, it’s been 45 years since the “I Have a Dream” speech was given.

Second off, it was given by MLK not JFK…

This interview went on for the entire ride, so about 8-10 minutes.  He repeated ‘JFK” at least a half dozen more times, and Tom Joyner never corrected him, never went to commercial to tell him privately off the air that he is referencing the wrong individual, or that he’s got the time-frame wrong (a minor mistake considering the acronym mix-up).

I love DC radio….
