Weak Explanation.
North Carolina Governor Mike Easley yesterday explained his controversial “pansy” remarks: “…Easley said he likes all the Rocky movies, wasn’t casting aspersions on Obama, and was just trying to say colorfully that Clinton is one resilient politician. “They’ve taken her to the graveyard five or six times, but she’s only driven the hearse back…’” Maybe not this time… [Boston Globe]
I wouldn’t call that a weak explanation. I’d call it a missing explanation.
