I wonder what was on Shepard Smith’s mind when he was doing this newscast? 🙂 [http://www.thedailygoods.com/001.wmv](http://www.thedailygoods.com/001.wmv) (Link requires Windows Media Player – an alternate link is [here](http://www.videoclipstream.com/akamai/h-l/jaylo/oops_email.html). ---

He was trying to say “they are more likely to give her a curb job . . . than a block party”. Then they showed that footage of her while he’s doing that line - is it any wonder he slipped on the Freud ? He was set up !! I smell a Freudian conspiracy ! What ? It smells like cigars and cheap sex. Does too. ---

I think the best part is the incredulous giggle in the background right after he says it. ---

Poor Shep. And he tries so hard, too… This one’s shown up, I think, on every single PC in our newsroom this week 😃 ---

He was _supposed_ to say, “they are more likely to give her a curb job than a block party”, but (they were showing footage of Jennifer Lopez in videos and whatnot) instead said, “they are more likely to give her a curb job than a blow jo-------uhhh, block party”. 😃 ---

Poor guy… he must really be fantasizing about what he’d have J. Lo do to _him_ if he had the chance… [sub]psst, Daowajan, he accidentally said “blow job” instead of “block party” in the clip[/sub] ---

He had it coming to him. Those eyes of his are not real. They must be glass. ---

Shepard Smith is known for this sort of thing. Not usually quite so spectacular, but he’s always ad-libbing and saying bizarre things. I think he’ll survive this blooper just fine. (Just my opinion.) Pretty funny, though. And pretty Shepard-esque. (As soon as I heard about this blooper on FoxNews, I _knew_ it was Shepard Smith!) ---

A local sportscaster was once commentating on a highlight involving Jeff Kent, but he accidentally called him Jeff Cunt. I think that tops this blowjob guy.
