QuoteYou've never made a dumb, inarticulate statement that didn't reflect your actual views then?

No, not to my knowledge.  But if I did, my remarks would not have offended a sizeable proportion of the population, plus I am not an elected representative, and there in lies the difference.

"Not to my knowledge"! Oh the irony  ::)

The whole point is that if Rogers had "known" what he was saying, he wouldn't have said it!

And as for your  having occasionally said something unintended, why should it make any such remarks any less "offensive" if only one or two people hear it from you, with none of them victims of the remark, than the exact same remarks by a someone on a Radio show, which will be heard by many more, including a few of the people referred to?

Unless, of course, you feel that getting elected somehow magically confers on someone perfect articulacy and immunity from error? Akaik, the only elected office which confers Infallibility is one which Jim Rogers could hardly be expected to contest!  :D

The guy made a mistake. He apologised for it. Further, he offered to explain more fully to anyone who was offended, should they get in touch. What more do you expect?

P.S. That last question was rhetorical.
"If you come in here again, you'd better bring guns"
"We don't need guns"
"Yes you fuckin' do"

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Any one else remember having a Dusty Bin toy you could stick all the wee bits on to?

I just realised that those Mr PotatoHead bastards stole their idea from Dusty Bin!!

Jim Rodgers made a mistake. Get over it. I remember a poster on here (I think it ws Red Sky?) making a similar comment by mistake. He apologied and it was forgoten about. Give the man a break. He isn't that bright.
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion.
