Senator Ted Kennedy has done it.
So has Mitt Romney, Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer and Dan Rather.
The New York Times has even written a story about it. Click

Tonight, I joined the list of those who accidentally said Osama instead of Obama. (Just Google "anchor confuses obama osama" and you'll see what I mean.)
It was not intentional of course, and it came when I was trying to read a story from my back-up copy instead of the teleprompter. As I tried in vain to maintain eye contact with the camera, I made the mistake.
Believe me, I do my best not to make mistakes, but occasionally they happen.
Do I regret it happened? Yes.
As I have been told, you can't unring that bell.
