I'm guessing he didn't know the original meaning. I agree. He apologized. Let's carry on. We need to pick our battles. This is nothing in the large scheme of things.
(of course, I'm all for having fun with it tho.)
I would agree with you...However, EVERY TIME a conservative burps we hear about it ad nauseum from these morons. I say what goes around, comes around.
The whole world is watching! At least the FReepers are and they cannot get away with the stuff that they used to. lol
He probably does know the original meaning, just like most of the rest of us do. But he probably didn't think much about it. I agree, though: this is no big deal.
I certainly don't know anyone who doesn't know the meaning of this phrase. Even my Chinese girlfriend, who has only been an American citizen for two years, knew what it meant, and was offended that I would even ask her such a question. Roberts is an adult male, he knew exactly what he was sayin'!
He needs to be FIRED. To heck with being Mr. Nice Guy. We don't have to pick this battle: it fell into our lap and we would be fools not to insist this idiot gets the axe. He is another Dan Blather hot shot that needs to be put in his place.
The MEDIA runs Bush mispeaks 24/7 trying to make him out to be a fool. Nothing wrong with a little return fire at them.
I give. What does sloppy seconds mean? Freepmail me if it is not for posting. I am not offended easily so don't worry about my reaction.
