It's not quite as fun as her 16-second brain fart during the gubernatorial debate, but it serves her right after some of the outrageous comments that Gov. Jan Brewer has made recently.

ABC 15 reports VIDEO: Arizona Governor Jan Brewer endorses President Barack Obama at Republican National Convention:

One day after endorsing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer gave a live interview to MSNBC, apparently slipping up and endorsing his opponent, President Barack Obama.

The video is so hot on the internet, the Governor's office released a statement to ABC15 Wednesday night saying the Governor misspoke, and she isn't the first official to do so amid the noise and chaos of the crowd.

In case you missed this last night, a pair of Republican National Convention delegates decided to demonstrate their racist side towards an African-American CNN camerawoman. CNN initially did not want to report on this story, not wanting to become the news (and fearing a conservative backlash). Other news organizations commented that CNN has an obligation to report on this because it is news. CNN should reveal details of nut-throwing incident.

Today, CNN briefly addressed this ugly incident. Via TalkingPointsMemo, CNN Goes On Air With Story About RNC Incident:

On air this evening, CNN's Wolf Blitzer called attention to the
network's earlier report on two Republican National Convention attendees
throwing nuts at a black CNN camerawoman and saying, "This is how we feed animals." The attendees were removed from the Tampa Bay Times Forum after the exchange.

Blitzer called the incident "truly shocking" and said it "hit home"
for everyone at the network. CNN political analyst Donna Brazile said
during the segment she hopes the two attendees have their convention
credentials revoked.
