was either a) Go off on the Niger thing, or b) Give that comment he did. How about c) Shut the fuck up. Say nothing.

From a different thread: I get it. My subtle higher brain enjoys the irony. But my blunt-ass lower lizard brain hears him calling all this stuff no big deal. I don't think he single-handedly messed this whole thing up. But despite everyone saying THIS IS IT and BUSH IS SCREWED, I remember 42,109 other times these fuckers have squirmed out of the corner and survived. I cannot abide anything that comes within a parsec of helping them do this.
