There’s an Echo In Here.

One of the drawbacks to getting my political news from Twitter.

Hillary Said WHAT?

I’ve been out of politics as a pursuit for about ten years now. And my vacation has done me some good, I think. I’m more rational, I see the gray area in issues that have gray areas, and I tend not to see people in two tribes in a life-or-death struggle. A good way to go through life, all in all.

Then, yesterday, mostly because I’m more plugged in to what’s going on this year than last because of my interest in social media, I hear tell about an alleged verbal misstep by Hillary Clinton in an answer to a question by the Argus Leader editorial board (covered live on Mogulus) about her staying in the primary race. As you’ve heard by now, she said:

My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it.

I heard the outrage. I read post after post, in places like Twitter, of what a dangerous thing she said. And I have to admit, I had no idea what they were talking about. And every idea what Hillary was talking about.
