Appears she missed the chapter on decimals in middle school. Wow.

I don't think Rachel Maddow is the one making a fool of herself. You might want to watch that whole clip again...closely.

She was trying to make Christie look dumb and only ended up screwing it up. Maddow, 440.8 - 437.8 = 3

Yeah...that's exactly what she's making fun of, the fact that Christie said he lost by 2.2 points. She does her clever little computer thing and sarcastically says 440.8 - 437.8 is not 3 points, it's 2.2. She didn't mess up. She was being her typical self.

5wide nailed it. She was being sarcastic and making fun of Christie's math.

You are correct. I thought she just screwed up. I see what she was trying to do know.

Can I hear a big Rosanne Rosannadanna shout of "never mind".

I had to watch it three times just to be sure. If I hadn't paid attention to the entire clip, I wouldn't have caught it.

I still didn't catch it until you and 2C pointed it out. It could be that I was throwing up in my trash can from watch Maddow.

I can definitely sympathize with that sentiment.

Sorry guys, you're dead wrong. If you were right she wouldn't have done a retake. I mean, why do a retake if you're just being sarcastic? She screwed up, that's why. :lol:

I watched both versions today. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show/#38858438

Oddly enough, I can't get the updated version to load now. Perhaps they're "fixing" it again... :lol:

Can I get one from you now? :sssh:

Don't hold your breath ...

Same advice to me? :lol:

Since the video won't load at this time, the original went like this:

 

MADDOW: 2.2? According to the Department of Education, Ohio got 440.8 points in the final phase, and New Jersey got 437.8 points which is not three points. It's 2.2 points. I don't know if there was a math section, but if there is, I bet that's Obama's fault, too.

 

The retake went like this:

 

MADDOW: 2.2 points Governor Christie? According to the Department of Education, Ohio got 440.8 points in the final phase and New Jersey got 437.8 points which using math - using my powers of math comprehension that's three points not 2.2. I wonder if there's a math component to the test. If there is, I bet that's Obama's fault, too.
