WOW JFK's super fan here didnt think that was very funny. Personally i think its hilarious. Even if they did know what he ment, he still said he was a doughnut lol
-
eddie was actually right.. i mean whe u say ich bin Berliner u are saying u are from berlin.... but wher u add the "ein" it imediatelly becomes in a doughnut... gramatic in germany it's complicated... but they are rly estrict with that

WOW this guy must be the dumbest guy alive JFK had it right all the time you can stop making the joke
-
hes a fucking doughnut!! lolz
-
"Laddronaut....." LOL

Proper german would have been "Ich bin Berliner." The article "ein" evokes an object, and since a berliner is also a (jam-filled) pastry, "Ich bin ein Berliner" sounds funny. Obviously the people of Berlin still understood what JFK meant.

must be the CD... (available on his site)...
I heard they vary somewhat from the DVDs. Same tour though. Very cool!

what do you think dr. heimlech? LOL
Eddie must (hopefully) know that a "berliner" in Berlin means - obviously - a native Berliner.
Only in western Germany does the word mean "doughnut".
JFK was right on in this case.
A silly myth ...
