His campaign staff now say he was "speaking figuratively." Yeah. I can say anything and then claim I was speaking figuratively.
But then why should we hold fabrication against the Twit when it's just the way things are done these days?
When future generations look back on the record of this campaign, they won't have any idea that anyone other than Hillary, Barack and John Edwards were running for the Democratic nomination. The Republican runners are still up in the air. Depends on who the media decide to cover, but certainly Ron Paul won't be noticed.
An NPR report this morning talked about the "sudden" change in standing for the "frontrunners" (Huckabee up, Romney & Giuliani down; Clinton and Obama down, Edwards "maybe" picking up). The reporter suggested that it must be that voters are just now beginning to pay attention. My suggestion is that news sources haven't yet really paid attention to voters. They're just scoping out each other's reports.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
Update: It gets better. Twit says he was using the word "saw" figuratively. (Biblical, if you ask me.) He also tries shifting the blame, saying that he remembers his father telling them that he marched with King.
And in '78 he told the Boston Globe that he and his father marched with Dr. King through the streets of Detroit. Figuratively, I suppose.
Update 12/22/07: Can I get a witness? Did Twit's father march with MLK or not?
