Not really. She phrased it to appear to not say it, but by doing what she did, she was saying it. In her comments, her tongue in cheek regret is she would have to enter rehab if she said it. Well, she said it by saying she can't say it. It would be the same as saying I was going to have a few words to say about black people but because you would be charged with a hate crime if I referred to them as the N word.......
A brief tour of DU will show that Ann's indirect slur is parliamentary, tea-time language compared to the daily fare of the Rat foot soldiers.
Can we get real here? They put up a rapist for President, and the nation went for it. Teddy the Hutt is a murderer, serial adulterer, alcohol abuser, avoirdupois-challenged psychopath, and they lionize him. Al Gore is selling global warming snake oil while paying himself for carbon indulgences and pardon, and DUmmies profess their love for him. Jean Francois Kerry takes a film-crew with him to glamorize his own personal heroism while betraying the rest of our troops in Viet Nam and then uses a Senate hearing to make an opposing political operative squirm, and the Dims think he's the bomb.
And while they worship and adore these poor disordered personalities, they are calling US not only stupid and thoughtless but evil and racist.
I wish she hadn't done it, as I say, but I have no trouble lining up on her side and saying that compared to Dumbocrat discourse Ann is an Emily Post redivivus.
Cute too.
