| 26. Who cares? Someone must - it's been all over tv, newspapers, |
|
internet, blogs, and even a mention or two on DU.
A White House spokesperson said, in reference to the president's remarks, that he simply misspoke. When (now) SOS Clinton "misspoke" about bullets in Bosnia, the press, late nite comics, and even DU posters were all over that like bristles on a porcupine.
|
| -Now that Obama has backed off his comments over the Gates incident, I wonder how many DUers will? |
