Lt. Gov. Beagle
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sometimes it’s good to be reminded of how unimportant you are.
Case in point: An encounter between Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and G.I. last week in Norcross. Cagle was the featured speaker at a center for single moms at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church.
Before his speech, Cagle extended a hand to a member of the fourth estate and said, “Hey Ray.”
He got the name wrong. An aide rushed to correct him.
“It’s Jim,” she said.
“Oh, I’m sorry … Jim,” Cagle said.
That was wrong, too. But Cagle rebounded.
“I just stumbled all over that, didn’t I,” he said, sounding self-deprecatory.
Cagle wasn’t the only one to bungle a name.
Moments later, a pastor who preceded Cagle at the podium called him “Lieutenant Governor Cable” … twice.
