"IOW" my butt. Don't intentionally misstate what I said and use your own version of what I said to attack me. My post was expressed with crystal clear English. If you can't understand that, that's your fault.
I understood you quite clearly.
I didn't "misstate" you at all.
I "paraphrased" your words to showcase the flimsy excuses that are routinely employed by our disingenuous political leadership. If you don't see the legitimacy of that analogy, I feel sorry for you.
