Why anyone would bother to cavil about your use of the word "great" was where I was going.

(14,177 posts)I haven't been able to think about her quite the same way ever since I saw that. It's not just a lame joke it's a window into how she thinks.

(14,177 posts)She apologized. Her supporters are okay with that as long as she apologizes. I don't care it shows me what kind of mind she has with or without the apology.

Just wanted to let you know it's appreciated.

(11,833 posts)I like the spontaneous questions & answers because they can't give canned responses that have been test marketed as witty.

(1,945 posts)I'm guessing he brought that up because when he was on Ellen she asked him if he wore boxers or briefs. It was such an off the wall question it probably stuck with him.

Fans of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) can now support briefs, not billionaires.
Vermonters backing the Sanders presidential campaign have launched Bernies Briefs, a line of underwear embroidered with the candidates face and Feel the Bern slogan on the rear.
Comedians Larry David and Ellen DeGeneres may have inspired the fashion statement, after Sanders revealed to DeGeneres on her show last month that he preferred briefs to boxers.
Then, in his impersonation of Sanders on Saturday Night Live, David took up the underwear theme.
I own one pair of underwear, thats it, David said. Some of these billionaires, theyve got three, four pairs.
Sanders said he thought the underwear line, which is unaffiliated with his campaign, was hilarious.
It cracks me up, its unbelievable, he told local radio station WCAX earlier this week.
The underwear, which comes in pairs for men and women, is available for $15, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to the Yellow Ribbon Fund to benefit veterans.
Bernie is known as a champion of veterans so we wanted to give (some of the proceeds) to an organization that he would appreciate the money going towards, one of the creators of Bernies Briefs, Todd Bailey, told CNN on Thursday.
