Now THIS..is a gaffe..
« on: October 03, 2012, 12:30:56 AM »
  Somehow in recent months, the media has been calling speaking the truth a "gaffe" .  For instance, when Romney told a British reporter that he could see some potential problems with the coming  Olympic games...our media called that a gaffe.  The man who had salvaged our own Olympics was correct..the Brits had to detail troops to fill the stands..along with other snags; he was correct!
       Previously a gaffe was when a person hurt their own cause by inadvertantly speaking the truth.  Here, Joe Biden admits the "middle class" has been buried for the last 4 years..

      Now, THAT is a gaffe..
       
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
