pathetic partisanship.

Im sorry, but this sort of "would have" posts don't mean much. I mean, every major news organization has dedicated significant air time to this gaffe.
Besides, it took a few years of GWB gaffes before people would really attack him on them. Most people here don't even know about the "Do you have blacks in Brazil, too? gaffe Bush did in his first year in the office, for example.
Finally, I would love to know a single person who was genuinely offended by this. Not offended in the sense of "this is a chance to attack someone I hate anyways," but really offended.
There is so much crap going on now, and people still keep talking about a relatively harmless gaffe...
