Remember when his misspelling of potato as “potatoe” was the most controversial political news? Oh how far we have come!

I don't think it was controversial was it?

Just embarrassing.

Embarrassing yes, but at least he knows how many states there are in the U.S.

You don't know that for sure!

… over the last 15 months we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in fifty …. seven states? I think one left to go.

I'm not a fan of the guy, but it's obvious someone (probably the teacher) purposely gave him a cue card with the word misspelled just to embarrass him. Sure, he should've noticed, but apparently some of the reporters present weren't sure about the spelling either.
