Well, not to quibble, but it wasn't exactly in public. It was during a

"Vice-Presidential."

Oh, OK, so it was NOT public and therefore OK... only in a public
building, with lots of public officials, and photographers... maybe a
few aides, maybe a few friends & family, probably one or two
reporters... but of course the Vice-President's papers are all
ultra-secret (especially those having to do with industry & lobbyists
influence on public policy) so it makes sense to keep his spoken words
under wraps too. It's just a darn shame this got "leaked."

The country would be better off if it were easier for the gov't to keep
anything secret, wouldn't it?
