193. You set a very low bar

This was no mistake. The Iraq war vote was no mistake. Regime change in Libya was no mistake. Legitimizing the Honduran coup was no mistake. Setting up an office to promote fracking worldwide was no mistake. Hiding your email from public records requests was no mistake. Shall I continue?
