i'm inclined to think moose just screwed the pooch on his message delivery ...

The public info officer answered questions just after Moose left the podium. The PIO made no attempt to re-phrase what Moose just said. In fact, he said that the person to whom the statement was intended will understand exactly what it means.

Quite possible. Moose started out by impressing me w/his first conference when he said "SPecifically ASking" and has deteriorated (probably through stress) back to the ebonian, "should not be conscrewed as".
