As much attention as there has been regarding ‘birthers’ I am amazed that ‘truthers’ seen to get off scott free.

I bet a higher percentage of Dems believe that Bush was behind the destruction of the Twin Towers than Reps question O’s citizenship.

This guy may be a Grade A moron, but he’s got Clinton’s non-apology apology routine down cold:

“I’m sorry if people misunderstood what I said.”

Why is it, when people try to “clarify” their controversial remarks, they just make it worse?

I know what he said. He’s entitled to say it. I’m also entitled to tell him to kiss my a$$.

No surprise he went to the “my comments were misconstrued” card.

It was his only option — and it still might not be enough to save his job.

“”I have not spoken with Rashard, so it is hard to explain or even comprehend what he meant with his recent Twitter comments,” he wrote in a statement”

Wouldn’t it be easier for Mr Rooney to just say he employs nitwits?

JMO, owner of team should fire him.
He does have freedom of speech but some words have consequences.
If not fired, hope he gets booed at home and away games.

Supposedly during the current NFL labor standoff Rooney can’t do discipline of players, etc. From what I hear Pitt. is a city of blue collar patriots, etc. but note that Rooney supported Obama in his election etc. Both he and his player may be hoping this blows over.

Freedom of speech does have consequences—Dixie Chicks, Michael Richards. If Mendenhall loses a commercial product endorsement over this, it’s his own fault (or if people boycott something he endorses)

‘Clarification’

‘I’m sorry if some people may have been offended...’

Some recent tweets using #mendenhall

—For Rashard Mendenhall’s tweets, Roger Goodell has fined James Harrison

—Now that Rashard Mendenhall clarified his Osama tweets maybe he can clarify why he fumbled in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.

—No Tweets so far today from Rashard Mendenhall. He’s probably at a UFO convention.

—freedom of speech applies only when you don’t represent others

(The example I like to give is that if you work as a WalMart greeter and say to shoppers, “Welcome to WalMart. F-— you.” Well, you DO have the right to say it. You don’t have the right to keep your job should the boss object about it.
