No, John King, you didn’t claim responsibility last night. You said that ABC ... yada, yada, yada. You tried to push off responsibility until NEWT turned the tables on you and made the point that it was your decision to ask the question in the debate. You were trying to wimp out.
You can’t pretend to be a hero now, you cowardly scum-bum.
It's called 'standing in the breech' in the face of fire and John King cut and ran when he equivocated and tried to dodge Newt's criticsm. In other words, he definitely was embarrassed (if not worse) and looked uncomfortable the rest of the night (wet undies will do that to 'ya!). He might be exhibiting bravado today, but we all saw what happened last night .....
