Did anyone hear McCain call Palin a "breast of fresh air" last night, and then correct himself?

I could have sworn he did, but don’t see it in any news stories on the debate.

No, but between Joe the Plummer, smiling with his eyes, and this, I wish I’d watched it instead of Project Runway!
Just kidding. I DVR’d the debate. if you can tell me approximately when it happened, I can get a clip up later.
I didn’t catch it, but I heard someone else make the same charge.
did you want him to talk about her breasts?
What I thought I heard was: “breash of freth air” which he changed to “breath of fresh air”
Didn’t hear breast.
It was an easy slip of sounds, I did not hear “breast”, I heard “breash of freth” like jvgr. It was quickly corrected. I love to point out McCain flaws, but since I do that all the time (I call it verbal dyslexia), I shouldn’t be hard on him now.
I heard him grasping at any straw he could but didn’t happen to notice his mention of breasts.
I didn’t see him grasping at any either.
Oh, now that you mention it, bresh of freth does ring a bell, didn’t think about breast. I think it was more a juxtaposition than a Freudian slip.
I do however get the feeling every time I see McCain staring at Palin’s ass that when he says he “vetted” her, it is some sort of reference to him being a “vet”.
@tonedef: don’t you dare talk trash about Project Runway. Not here, not ever.
…but it was a little anti-climactic, right?
@EmilyNathon: I’ve been a devotee since that shriveled-up corn husk dress sashayed down that runway, but season 5 was a total letdown. At least SPOILER
Leanimal walked away with the prize! Now, we sit back and watch the heated court battle.
A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.
Never mind that, what about McCain’s audible grunting while Obama was speaking? I thought they were going to call in EMS because it sounded like he was having a heart attack.
I remember that. It sounded like that at least.
Here’s the actual footage from the debate, though I don’t remember all of it. Maybe I nodded off for a second?
Sounds like Bresh to me.
I try to keep a breast of things but this one escaped me.
