Jonathan Martin makes a good point about Hillary's fumbling of Dmitri Medvedev's name in the debate the other night. Though her answer was far superior to Obama's, she messed up his name, got flustered, and closed with "whatever," which I thought was a flippant end to a decent answer.
Imagine, if you will, the buzz we'd be hearing if it had been Bush. It would be the go-to joke for a week and a half.
