22. "It wasn't really a gaff"

Sun Jul 29, 2012, 11:51 AM

Jul 2012

I love this!

"It wasn't really a gaffe," Daniels said. "They knew what the day was, but they were looking for the correct time and circumstance to do it. Instead it ended up seeming like a big dinner, but that's not really what it is."

On a different note, could someone explain how this: "Immediately after the fund-raising meeting, Romney will host a conference in Jerusalem, where he will lay out his Middle East policy" works with his previous statement that he doesn't want to discuss foreign policy issues while on foreign soil?
