I disagree. Sure, that's maybe what he MEANT, but that is not what he SAID. It is not up to us to insert those nine words to come to an understanding of what he meant. It's up to him to present his ideas in a manner that cannot be misunderstood. Since he didn't, it's funny, but in a sad way.

I mean, when Quayle talked about "bondage between a mother and child", we all knew what he meant too.

I think I see what you're saying here. I'm not going to feel bad, though, for ignoring my sense of fair play.

As I said to [livejournal.com profile] supremeherptile, this is something I'd allow slack for if it had been said by someone I mostly agree with, so my sense of fair play kicks in. Quayle's bondage quote seems (to me) more like other Bush gaffes that I don't give him slack for than this does.

%wince% Sorry. I'd hoped to get the one with the typo in it replaced by the corrected one before you had a chance to reply to the one I was about to delete. I wasn't quick enough.

Well, I saw the one you deleted first because I got it in email -- don't worry.
