Anita Dunn - "I Also Quoted Mother Teresa, But no One is Accusing me of Being a Saint!"

In the ongoing saga between White House Communications Director Anita Dunn and Glenn Beck (Fox News); Dunn 'called out' Fox News, Beck installed a 'Red Phone Hotline', then aired a tape where she said that Mao was one of her favorite philosophers, Dunn countered saying she was joking. Now she is adding to the counter by saying "Let it be noted that I also quoted Mother Teresa, but no one is accusing me of being a saint!"

I did not really believe her first excuse, but the second is just laughable. No one is accusing her of killing 70 million people, no one is accusing her of being responsible for more deaths then almost(?) anyone in history. The uproar is that you admire that person, the one who was responsible for a death toll so massive that the range between the high and low estimate by itself would be enough to put him toward the top of the list of mass murders. People are not concerned about her admiring Mother Teresa because she is was a good person; one of the most admired in recent times.

Here is that video again.

"In an e-mail message, Ms. Dunn said, “My source for the Mao quote was actually the late Lee Atwater, either in an article or bio I read after the 1988 election. Now that I’ve revealed this I hope I don’t get Keith Olbermann angry with me. Let it be noted that I also quoted Mother Teresa, but no one is accusing me of being a saint!”"

Via Gateway Pundit who opines; "Of course, Dunn's delayed response is ridiculous.
Her speech to high school students and their response showed she was serious about her praise for the Former mass-murdering Chinese communist dictator. Dunn went into some detail about why she so admired Mao but said next to nothing about Mother Teresa.

  1. In any event, the hublot replica is on the left-side of the case and of course, you get that handy text on the Ring Lock reminding you about it. Rolex's most wild deployant clasp comes with Glidelock, which is on the rolex replica uk. In addition to the Fliplock extension link, the deployant offers a long travel of opening and closing thanks to Glidelock. It is different from the system on the replica watches uk and involves pulling the deployant open like a lever and moving teeth along a small rail. It's cool and offers a great level of wearing comfort – as well as expansion room if you want to wear the watch over a jacket or wetsuit. Rolex of course tweaked the dial of the replica watches sale in a good way with better sized elements and overall more perfection. If you like the idea of an almost comically-sized, yet super classy sports watch, the Deepsea is hard to beat. And those white gold hands which are on all rolex replica uk always look great and offer excellent legibility.
