As I say, I'm a discourse advocate. What form it comes is less important to me than the fact that there is discourse.
Most of the gaffes I've made have not been funny - they've been stupid.
In my case, I was covering politics in Texas as a newspaper man in the 1960's.
I'm a journalist and that's what I do.
I'm in the reporting part of journalism.
Those who know me know I won't hesitate to turn around and point someone out.
