I listened to her entire monologue including the comment in question, it takes an incredible amount of effort to find real fault in anything she said and very thin skin to find anything she said to be offensive. Her response was well crafted, thought-out, professional and reflect the type of tone I would expect from a political leader. No other politician or political pundit has come close to the caliber of her response on this issue.

Are you telling me that if I listen to the whole episode that this quotation takes on a different meaning? What if I don't want to listen to it? Can you explain it to me instead? What's been spun about this? Who's being provocative?

It was political satire, used to illustrate a point. If you don't listen to his show, you would not get it. I don't comment on John Stewart because I never watch his show and I don't pass judgment based on selected snippets of his show - nor will I allow others to form my view - yet it happens with Rush all the time - why?
