Re: Did Santorum nearly call Obama the n word??
I really want to say no way, but... what else was he going to say there?
ETA I wouldn't be THAT surprised by anything that came out of his mouth though.
"I was going to say he was a blah person..."
Aw, man, you beat me to it!
ETA; He was about to call him a Nickelback fan, obvi.
Eesh. I can see why he would try and backtrack!
Is it jerky in anyone elses feed? It looks like a bad edit job on mine.
(NOT making a Santorum excuse.)
Sounds like a bad edit job to me, too. I wouldn't put much past Santorum, but he was giving a speech here. To my mind, if he was going to drop the n bomb it would be more of a "spur of the moment" slip, not a planned speech.
You know how we do

Yeah, it seems choppy. And I agree about the speech thing- seems like a weird place to drop it.
Its REALLY hard to tell. I don't think we can assume thats what he was doing.
He's still a douche, but I don't think he was trying to call him the n-word.
omgomgomgomg.
i love you.
FTW!
Here's the full speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzyvo8SKa0M
Comment was around the 34 minute mark. I can't decide what to think. I want to say no way he was going to say that, but then I can't think of anything else that would make sense there, and why did he just stop mid-sentence and then skip to a whole new topic instead of finishing his thought?
What, I can't be a Monty Python fan?

I agree - bad edit job. I can't stand Santorum and he's said some crazy and aweful things before, but I do think he is disciplined enough to not make a gaffe like that during a planned speech. Truth be told, I can't see him dropping the N word even spur of the moment. He's been in politics way too long for that.
heh! Still in your AE? You never revealed who you were!
I have been bogged down in a million things lately so I haven't been around, so I couldn't play, but had fun reading it all.
So...who are you?
