My guess is the idiot had no clue as to the meaning of what he said.

I'm betting that is the case. This is one of those few times that I think people should just accept the apology, move on, and be ready to raise up on their hind legs if it happens again.

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.)

[governsleastgovernsbest]

You guys are kinder than I am. I might accept his apology, but there's not a boy who went to college during the period Roberts did who is unaware of the meaning of 'sloppy seconds.'

[petitfour]

John Roberts is a man, is he not? I've no doubt that he knew exactly what it meant, and his apology is rather limp. His employer should remove him from the White House. Big boo boo.

I maintain that the White House press secretary is not quick-thinking enough to stay in his position. He should be moved to a background job.

Would the media show mercy to anybody, if things were reversed?

[patriciamary]

I bet he knows exactly what he said,these reporter are so anti Bush they cannot think straight.

Not me. The socialist media know all about "Sloppy Seconds" and they should be held accountable for their idiocy. At the Whitehouse no less!

You may be right in that he didn't know but it still was a dumb remark that completely revealed his left wing leanings in that he had to use anything but "second best" or something less vulgar

"My guess is the idiot had no clue as to the meaning of what he said."

He knew EXACTLY what he said and meant every word of it. He has no classs just like all the rest of his kind.
