Oh boo friggin hoo.  There are so many things going tits up about this country and in the Middle East and Europe, and we are fixated on something a cad said 11 years ago.  Get off your fainting couches ladies, grow a pair men and get on with life.  Ever wonder why this got brought up so close to the election?  And spare us the righteous indignation that Republicans  are exhibiting and asking him to step down from running for president?  It wouldn't help or change anything, as the NYT says, 40 percent of people have already voted!  They are just jumping on an overcrowded ban wagon to cover their own petards!
