Bless This Mess
Why on earth is Hillary's Howard Wolfson claiming she didn't say "rich people—God bless us''? Because if you watch the snippet from O'Reilly, she's a little tripped up, but all she seems to be trying to convey is a version of "to whom much is given, much is required''—from Luke. (And JFK, and lately, Eliot Spitzer, but never mind that.) The point is, this is like issuing a denial that you said "Happy Mother's Day!'' And lying to dispute Fox News video—nah, no one will catch you on that—on such a completely benign, even inarguable, statement? What an odd thing to do. (Force of habit? Just keeping his skills up? Or most likely, assuming her words would be twisted into, "Greed is good," which was clearly not her intent. I think they call that projection.)
