When reading it off a cue card, he mispronounced the word during an interview with Michael Moore this evening in reference to a question about Sen. Hillary Clinton. Then, King claimed he knew the word, but he must have never seen it in writing, because he claimed he thought it was a disease. Nice save?

Now that she’s got that big pink gorilla off her back, can she expect to get the votes counted from Michigan and Florida?

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far. In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they continue the fight.

The presidential candidate said Wednesday, “Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this.”

Clinton is calling for delegates from both states to be seated at the convention based on the primaries. Both states were stripped of their delegates because they voted early, violating national party rules. Clinton won both states; Barack Obama’s name wasn’t on the Michigan ballot.

The DNC’s rules committee will hear an appeal on May 31.

In a recent written statement of support, Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor said that Hillary Clinton was “not a flibbertijibbet” (or flibbertigibbet, if spelling is important to you), which is a word that was more commonly used in the late Middle Ages.

Some will say that Taylor and John McCain grew up in that era, but they’re not that old.

For those still wondering, modern dictionaries define the word as “a frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person.”
