Quote:i'm not sure that "bothered" is really the right description. We are talking about an administration whose new mouthpiece didn't realize that using the phrase "hug the tar baby" in a press conference could cause some issues.About time someone used a valid metaphor. Sadly, he wasn't using it in reference to the Iraq mess.
If people can't handle a reference to a well known American folk tale, then they need to get their heads out of their rectums.
I read a lot of the Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear stories as a kid. I took them at face value, as folks stories. I had to be taught by over sensitive morons, years later, that they were offensive to people who were out looking for offense.
