What you just did isn’t easy. Well done. I had to be nudged into it the first time it happened to me, and boy was Leah ever right.

votermom, yes and no. I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to give any politician, even ones I like, the benefit of the doubt, so I don’t think my general outlook there is going to change. That said, I’m going to stop giving myself the benefit of the doubt . There is enough crap in the record of any politician they all have made enough bad policy proposals, that there is never a need to mischaracterize or lie about anything. That’s part of why I’m so upset with myself over this. My intention wasn’t to mislead, lie or otherwise obfuscate, but through my own sloppiness, the result was the same as if it had.

Let’s hope her plan to name Alan Greenspan to the panel trying to figure out the whole mortgage mess is also a mistake.

Nice apology. Will you be more willing to give her the benefit of the doubt next time?

Hey, shit happens. It’s really difficult to keep up with all the nuances of this stuff, especially when you have A Job.
