4. Here's the thread I posted with the clip yesterday:
If C&L did remove it, there's still a screen shot with the words visible. Try it and see:

7. LOL! It DOES sound bad, but I'm sure it was a slip of the tongue

Look at it in the context of everything he said:
You simply get chills every tome you see these poor individuals, as Jak Cafferty pointed out so tragically. So many of these people, almost all of them, are so poor and they so black. And this is gonna raise a lot of questions for people who are watching this story unfold..."

I'm sure he meant that SO MANY of the victims are poor and black that it is destined play a major role in the controversy to come.

Oooh, Wolfie, aren't you the one!

8. Thanks for putting the comment in context.
I was trying to figure out what the context of such a remark would be. On it's face, it sounds like a stupid inane comment until it is put into context. Thanks.

9. I heard it, you are correct
I haven't seen the video online, though. It seemed like a slip of the tongue rather than the kind of deeply corrupt thought that, say, babs bush let slip in her interview, so I'm sure that's partly why it hasn't made the rounds.

Still was a pretty jarring slip, though ...

10. I don't know who doesn't believe you, but

I, with my very own ears, heard Blitzer say that. It was quite startling, wasn't it?

Edit: I, too, thought he mispoke, because the rest of his comment was "heartfelt." But, it WAS startling, and inner thoughts have a way of coming out in statements like that.
