He should hook up with Biden and get pointers on how to keep one's mouth shut in open mic situations--which is pretty much every where, every day, every time.
I wonder how many past gaffes were deleted by a preening press. They smell blood in the water, Type "O" negative, so they're starting to finally report these excesses...Excesses that would have sunk the popularity of someone like Dan Quail, GW Bush, etc. Oh wait...
I believe Mr. Limbaugh used the word "Retard" in his quote of Mr. Emmanuel. Following your logic, we should demand an apology from the LA Times for quoting Rush quoting Rahm.
I am getting the same sinking feeling of good intentions badly carried out by JFK and crew before that good man's death. It took the down and dirty Johnson with a great speaker of the house as a major player to get the great society a reality rather than a promise.
I believe I will start working toward removing Mr. Obama from office in 2012.
Change from one republican, GW Bush, to another, B. Obama, is not change I can believe in.
