the point, which i incorrectly assumed was obvious and didn't really need to be dumbed down any more than it was... was that he is well known for making highly innapropriate and grossly offensive/insensitive remarks by any standard of diplomacy and statesmenship and has a long history of doing so. knowing that, its kinda irrelevant to debate the semantics of any single remark under the idiotic assumption that he is otherwise a perfectly normal person and brilliant statesman whose behavior falls within any acceptable realm or popular definition of normalcy in international politics.
anyhow... i am relieved having the "myth" that he is a wild lunatic, prone to saying completely innapropriate and outlandish things has been cleared up.
i thank you guys for that.
... i can now safely file this myth away in the official file cabinet of popular myths, right between magical unicorns, the "religion of peace" and leprechans and mark it "case closed!"
