Hopefully he mis-spoke. He will be on the wrong side of history on this. However, it does shed light on the few media news shows that start, and give wayyy too much time to 'what about ism', 'both sides do it', and smugly conjecturizing defenses for the gop everyday on their shows. CT has been particularly aggregious of never failing to suggest, a possible innocent answer for some bad gop behavior. All in the name of "fairness and debate". in my humble estimation. Just speaking generally on a routine week for him. Not today.
Hopefully he's tired. I miss Tim Russert.

He's all fake equalization, so can we assume he's saying Hillary's "cleared" also?
