Default The Democrats Said, and I quote!

Actually, I did read it, because I couldn't believe Safire would have said all
the things you appeared to have claimed.

So, you did exactly what the Dems are saying Bush did - you made it sound like
you meant one thing while maintaining deniability.

to Safire you just made up?


Jeff, I wouldn't be so foolish as to point to a specific source and then
make up content for the cited material. Somebody might actually go and read
it. (Well, maybe not much of a risk in this group.)

One of the reasons the language has paragraph separations is to minimize
confusion like what you apparently experienced. New paragraph = new line of
thought.

As I indicated before, what Safire said was summarized in the first
paragraph. That's why I introduced it with "He notes." Based on what Safire
had noted, I presented my analysis in the following paragraph. Capice?
