Reply #18: I don't know why someone can't produce a quotation [View All]

instead of a line from a report by a single AP reporter which does NOT consist of words spoken by Edwards -- if it did, they would be in quotation marks, and they ain't -- and another that is a quotation but that is ambiguous at best.

On the other hand, he may have said exactly what is written, and I can perfectly well understand someone saying something that didn't come out right, because I've done a lot of it myself. I can also understand that something that said, with its context and in the speaker's voice, could convey a meaning that isn't quite what it appears to be when reproduced in print.

I hope he clarifies soon too. FoxNews is doing the dance now:

and even the bloody Guardian has it:

but still -- the ONLY thing that ANY of them have is that one single report by one single AP reporter. Funny how nobody else seems to have heard him say these things; if someone had, you'd think s/he would have been trying to get a share of the journalistic limelight by now.
