On March 28th I published here my article “What George Zimmerman Really Said” in which I released my own audio analysis of the George Zimmerman 911 call, refuting a CNN audio analysis that Zimmerman had uttered the racial slur, “Fucking coons.”
I wrote,
I downloaded the 911 recording off the web, isolated the phrase, and enhanced it with Roxio.
What George Zimmerman said in rainy 63 degree February weather in Sanford Florida was, “It’s fucking cold.”
The remark is not out of context. A minute or so earlier on the 911 tape George Zimmerman tells the 911 dispatcher, “It’s raining.”

Rich Lowry blogged this article on National Review Online.
Now CNN has redone its original audio analysis and concurred with my analysis.
Here is CNN’s video report:
CNN did not acknowledge that I beat their report by nine days but my readers — and National Review Online readers — know that you heard it here first.

Don’t laugh, but… turning the volume as high as I can on this laptop, and listening with my head as close as I can get to these tiny speakers… with my right ear I hear “cold” and with my left ear I hear “coons”!

Dude, you can’t ask me not to laugh.
So is it right brain/left brain or right wing/left wing?

I just clicked on my Google news and there’s yet another interpretation. Now it’s said to be “punks”. Not quite buying that one:
