Baby Doc Quote of the Week

"Washington is a town where there's all kinds of allegations. You've heard much of the allegations. And if people have got solid, please come forward with it. And that would be people inside the information who are so-called anonymous sources, or people outside the information--outside the administration."

Anon--
You're right, it's pretty shocking. But I'm willing to bet that the Germans don't have the same familiarity with the negative connotations to "Uncle Tom" that we have, so they were pretty much unable to see the insult in this.
Not that I'm excusing it, of course.
