I’ve heard that the thread title is true on talk radio, mentioned in passing, but haven’t read anything of it. Can any one point to a link?

O’Neill and Suskind were both on NPR’s [Fresh Air](http://freshair.npr.org/day_fa.jhtml?display=day&todayDate=01/14/2004) on the 14th. O’Neill stood by his statements, although he said he “regretted” making the “blind man in a room full of deaf people” comment.
