I was just flipping through the channels on TV and caught the tail-end of Brian Mulroney reminiscing Ronald Reagan on Larry King Live. When Mulroney was done, Larry King signed him off as “the former Prime Minister of Great Britain.” Ouch.
Update: CNN keeps transcripts of all Larry King Live shows and, thankfully, they do not revise them to correct errors. The transcript for the show aired yesterday contains the above error:
MULRONEY: Good to see you, Larry. Thank you for having me and delighted to be with you.
KING: My pleasure. Good guy. Brian Mulroney, the former prime minister of Great Britain (sic).
