I wish I'd been at that strategy meeting:

"Look, that press release has become a disaster. We've got to do damage control."
"Maybe we could say we were joking?"
"In a press releae?? Are you out of your mind?? No one would be stupid enough to buy that!!"
"I don't know. I think the people might."
"You really think the voters are THAT dumb?"
"Yes. I do."
"Okay. We go with: 'it was all a big joke'"

In one of the Klintooon huddle rooms is a flip-chart with excuses to use. This one has been scratched off the list. Their reaction to the reaction has stop gaps and stuff like this ready to go. There will be some more like it. Remember, this is the team that has gas bags like Begalia, Carville, et. al.

I say they get more ridiculous as they start getting more desperate.
