My wife had a 24-hour clock in her classroom. With the batteries out, it was right only once per day.

On the other hand, absolutely none of her students could tell time on an analog clock, much less a 24-hour clock...

While I don't care for RP's political views, I doubt he's an idiot. This is simply a mis-speaking gotcha.

He has quite a habit of these types of misquotes. Sort of like another former Texas governor.

Haven't heard many of the other RP gaffs so my opinion is up for change.
