Here's how WaPo's thoroughly impartial media watchdog Howie Kurtz (you know, the one who's literally in bed with GOP media strategist Sheri Annis) noted this insignificant little incident in his column last Thursday:
Speaking of McCain, A.J. Rossmiller at Americablog jumps on his gaffe of saying Iran was training al-Qaeda operatives, which the senator corrected a moment later: ....A blunder, to be sure, but can the Democratic candidates really argue that they know more about foreign policy?
See, not only was it a tiny little one-time slip-up, he corrected himself (unassisted) a moment later! And we'll stick to that story no matter how many times and how many ways it happens!
"Can the Democratic candidates really argue that they know more about foreign policy?" Not when the fix is in and the media will cover for the Republican candidate's mistakes, no. Under those circumstances, can the Democratic candidates really argue that the sky is blue or Tuesday follows Monday?
