I never considered his honesty worthy of the label "Gaffe".

loved to do a ten minute rant but was very disciplined. Joe doesn't do gaffes, he does hard truths..

And the reporters kept asking him over and over again and still he said nothing about it.
And you are right, he says truths. Mitt is the true gaffe machine.

"This is a big f______ deal."
...(yes it was)

"I would tell members of my family, and I have,
I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places right now.
It's not that it's going to Mexico,
it's that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes,
it goes everywhere through the aircraft. That's me."
...(obvious observation)


"Am I doing this again?
My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts'."
(great slam)


"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty,
there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong."
...(another obvious observation)

"Remember, I said it standing here, if you don't remember anything else I said.
Watch, we're going to have an international crisis,
a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
(Ok, so he was a little premature on this one)

gaffes my ass
