Those three or so guy who were sitting in, are they the alleged cream of the news crop in South Dakota?
Or could be they’re slow-on-the-draw, yokel news smiths who don’t know an outrageous statement when they hear it?..

You got a point there, here in Minnesota, it is widely understood that the average S Dakotan would lose a game of tic-tac-toe to a hammer.
Huh? What? You are definitely trying to imply something, but its a bit vague. Spit it out, lets have a look at it.
Yeah. Pretty much the point of my argument, I have a different take.
When I first heard about this, I was about half-pleased. OK, maybe she’s shot herself in the foot for good, maybe this is a way to ditch her that won’t look like a back-stab to her supporters (of whom I am* not*!) People will say “Well, she fucked up, too bad, but them’s the breaks, not Obama’s fault, but hers.” I would have been happy enough to believe it.
But it ain’t so. How did you find out? Did you read the Argus Leader without any previous knowledge, and say to yourself “Wow! Look at that, she clearly suggested that Obama might get whacked like Bobby! And she did it without even mentioning Obama’s name! Man, that’s some pretty crafty innuendoing.”
Or did you hear about it with the interpretation supplied in advance? Did somebody tell you what she said before you *read * what she said? I sure did, I didn’t know the Leader even existed. And, just as I said, I was ready to buy it, but I read the actual interview, and there isn’t any there there. Zip, zilch, none, nada damn thing but a wholesale return of innuendo with a zero investment of fact.
Here’s how simple it is. She didn’t say it. Simple enough?
