Fox News anchor apologizes after congratulating 'NAACP' champions UConn on live TV

There's a whole hall of fame for this stuff. Such as Nancy Reagan, campaigning in New Hampshire in the 80's, addressing an outdoor crowd that had gathered in a picturesque and telegenic light snowfall. Looking around at the snow and the spectators, she got things a bit braided up and remarked that it was wonderful to see "all of you beautiful white people".

Or the disappointed would-be suitor who didn't understand why his co-worker rejected his date requests and wondered aloud if she might be Lebanese.
