Ethics

Dumbass Quote of the Day

By Ed Brayton

From Sarah Palin, joining Rand Paul in blaming everyone but him for his bungling attempt to answer a tough question:

PALIN: Yeah, absolutely. So you know, one thing that we can learn in this lesson that I have learned and Rand Paul is learning now is don't assume that you can engage in a hypothetical discussion about constitutional impacts with a reporter or a media personality who has an agenda, who may be prejudiced before they even get into the interview in regards to what your answer may be -- and then the opportunity that they seize to get you.

You know, they're looking for that gotcha moment. And that's what it evidently appears to be that they did with Rand Paul, but I'm thankful that he was able to clarify his answer about his support for the Civil Rights Act.
