Gaffe Politics Sucks
And I felt myself getting sucked in last night.
OMG s/he said what!?
Specifically there's this Hillary quote going around that can be construed in a racist way. I fell for it because I'd like to find any evidence in hopes that it's the feather to break that camel's back.
We should spend less time criticizing sloppy speech and more time criticizing things that she meant to say that were wrong.
Like her lame health care proposal. Or (and I wish I had better citations for this) how her rhetoric when she's scripted and on-message is still insufficiently progressive and gets trapped in the conservative mode too often. Or how the McCain/Clinton gas-tax-holiday is dumb.
There! Content! Reason! I feel better now.
