You can’t go cleaning up speeches for every little thing in the world that you think some little segment of the world’s population is going to misunderstand... it’s way too stupid to operate that way... :-)
That’s what I’m saying... and she was speaking to Canadians... that’s just the way it is...
If she should run, you will see this speech referenced in the future.
You're being intentionally obtuse here. I know you understand my point. The fact is, Sarah is in the Big Leagues, and she has to be keenly aware of every word she says in public.
No politician wants to waste valuable time doing damage control on a poorly worded statement, yet many of them have to do this again and again. Do it too many times, and you begin to look weak and unintelligent, like Barack Obama does.
This isn't to say that Sarah should be "careful" of what she says. She should be as outspoken as she always has been. She speaks truth fearlessly, and that is one her best personal attributes. She shouldn't temper that a single bit.
But, she also shouldn't be careless when speaking in public. Leaving out that one small bit of info about the Scagway travel conditions of her youth has allowed this one statement to blow up into something that she never intended.
YOU don't have to watch your words, but someone in Sarah's station sure does.
