How gaffes are, and aren't analysed
Feb. 14th, 2007 08:44 amGeorge Bush just said the troops aren't Americans.
Now, I don't think he meant that, any more than Kerry meant they were stupid, but he said it more clearly than Kerry did.
He's giving a press conference and he said that the first audience (for statements about the war, from the Oval Office, and from Capitol Hill) was the American People, and the second audience was the troops, and their families.
I think I can say no one is going to treat him to the same sort of roasting that Kerry got, or to that Biden got, or that any Democrat gets, when such clumsy locutions get used.
That's probably because we have a liberal media that won't cut the Republicans, esp. the president, any slack.
