HE didn't dance at all, Rig. And if you bothered to listen to what he DID say, you would have realized that what he did do was state that the statements Mister Wright made that were made into a controversy were inappropriate, and that they were out of context. These are both true statements. If you had bothered to see the whole context of the statements it would be immediately obvious that the whole crap-fest was artificially generated by the very trick of lifting from their context and leaving out 90% of the information in order to make the loops from Fox look awful and frightening.
Buying this sort of campaign dirty tricks is a mild form of idiocy, in my opinion--at least that's how I remonstrate with myself when I do it. It is being suckered in by used-car salesman maneuvers. We should know better.
