Maybe it should be called a “thinko.” Someone at CNN blanked out on the name of a senior statesman and inserted some other random name starting with the same letter.
Unfortunately, that other name is the fictional protagonist of 1950s romantic literature. “Mandingo” was the kind of book sometimes called a “bodice-ripper” from the nature of the action and the character Mandingo was a slave. Freudian slip, anyone?
