Bill Platt’s absolute crap
Yesterday Lehigh Valley (PA) GOP chair Bill Platt got in hot water for acting like a dick and today he unveiled his weak excuse for his abysmal behavior in The Morning Call:
Platt said in an interview with The Morning Call that he meant nothing malicious by using Obama’s middle name and said his goal was to talk up McCain’s patriotism.
‘’It wasn’t delivered with any kind of malice,’’ Platt said. ‘’It wasn’t calculated. I meant absolutely nothing by it.’’
Platt pointed out he also had referred to the Democratic candidate as ‘’Sen. Obama’’ or ‘’Mr. Obama’’ at the Bethlehem event.
‘’I could understand if it was taken out of context how someone would get angry,’’ Platt said. ‘’[But] if Barack Obama was not the nominee and it was Hillary Clinton, I would have referred to her as Hillary Rodham Clinton.’’
What a load of absolute crap. I’m still looking for a full video or transcript of his speech, but I’ll guarantee you the candidates on the Republican ticket weren’t referred to as John Sidney McCain or Sarah Louise Heath Palin in it.
