A hypothetical story
Just making up a hypothetical example, suppose commenter David C. accused me of “being no stranger to the embraces of domestic pets and barnyard animals.”
I guess I could respond either:
1. “I did not have sex with that goat.”
or
2. “It is a shame that David C. has lowered his standards to engage in a hit and run smear campaign. The Commissar has a 200-year record of serving our country with honor and integrity. He has never violated the public trust, never done favors for special interests or four-legged creatures, and he will not allow a smear campaign to distract from the issues at stake in this election.
“Americans are sick and tired of this kind of gutter politics, and there is nothing in this story to suggest that the Commissar has ever violated the principles that have guided his career.” *
Update: Okay, version number 1.
