I agree with your interpretation. He was steamrollered by the poor use of words, when his substantive point was the LBJ DOD wasnt on the up and up. which was correct! .. And so it goes. Gingrich had to live with the 'wither on the vine' remark, Bush has to live down 'mission accomplished'... it's amazing how the media can use one phrase, overstate its importance and make it anchor around a politicians neck.
Not really 'amazing'.
The MSM is comprised of traitors to the USA
and the American people.
They LIE routinely. They coverup the real news
and substitute Weather, fabrications, and lies.
IF America survives the next three years,
history should not be kind to the MSM.
