20. No it did not.
I am surprised how a certain group of people tend to be making this mistake.

23. He was talking about the patriot at at the time. In th context, I understand.
Plus he did the right thing and apologized immediately. Ashcroft has a lot of faults but he's not all bad either. He refused to sign off on presidential authorization for torture.

17. I think it might have been an accident caused by the fact that the
Repub idiots who try to maintain a pretense of respectability (unlike, say, Limbaugh) probably say that sort of thing among themselves all the time, so that it is a habit that they can't always suppress when out in public where they might get in trouble for it.

12. It could have been an honest mistake. I've heard Thom Hartman do it.
But then again, we're talking about Asscroft.

19. Bet he won't do that again
In front of a crowd.

Intentional or mistaken, he knows now that slip don't play well to the college crowd. He should save it for a Republican fundraiser.

21. No slip up. The topic was perfect to throw it out there
like spitting in the wind.

More importantly was the crowd's response and look at the camera guy.
