Libertine: I would be very concerned about HRC being POTUS based on her proclivity to be "misconstrued". That is a recipe for disaster if she "accidentally" misspoke on the world stage and caused an international incident or even a war.

Obama is so famous for his gaffes that there is a special acronym created in his honor:

W.O.R.M.
"What Obama Really Meant" -- a rationalization for a controversial statement by Barack Obama. Originally, a fictitious game show where such rationalizations are put forth.

Statement from the Argus Leader

The Argus Leader’s Executive Editor Randell Beck issued the following statement today:

The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself.

RFK Jr's statement

It is clear from the context that Hillary was invoking a familiar political circumstance in order to support her decision to stay in the race through June. I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband’s 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense.

i stopped by to say what eric the red said, but his is better. to his comment, I'll just say "ditto, dude."

my own comment is considerably less mature, as in: mwah-hahahahahaha! [well, excu-u-use me for not being as literate as randi rhodes.]

josh and greg -- can't you find something more important to dwell on tonight, like the infragard program?

how about harassing the network journalists to cover that story. i bet shuster could get a pulitzer with that, rather than the gossiping like some high school heather that he's been prone to lately.

let me go out on a limb here to suggest: you really don't get it.

don't you have a pretty cute kid, too? here's a soapbox he might need you to stand on, on his behalf, rather than defending "twice already he apologized!" shuster.
