Senator in hot water over misspelling ‘Underdog’

Tragically dyslexic Pennsylvania legislator John McGinnis has accidentally landed himself in hot water when he suggested that a touch of reality was added to the ‘Pledge of Alliance’. Intended as a tongue in cheek comment on the fact that the US is currently the Underdog in the world, he texted his assistant to draft a memo to this effect.

Unfortunately, and due to his spelling disability, this was misinterpreted as an endorsement for keeping ‘Under God’ in the Pledge.

His personal aide also pointed to the republican auto-correcting feature in the Senator’s smartphone as a contributing factor.
