look bad, is that mudslinging?
On edit - why do I forget to spell check when I know I can't type?

what's quoted shouldn't change the meaning of what was said.
"I am ... a crook"? Bad form, very bad form.
Still, it's SOP in many circles.

4. It's SOP if it's a Repuke smearing a Dem out of context ... |
|
it's unfair and damn near illegal if the exact quote in context makes the Repuke look stupid and the media actually acknowledges it ...
