This one was "oops supposed to be off the record" - with two rooms full of newspeople listening to the feed, and previously with the professor/police THING he didn't mean to call that particular guy that in haste, or had to correct what he really meant, and well now just have to step in and be relevant. I agree with him in both cases about who was being a jackass, really, I just don't buy that the public comments weren't calculated political moves. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as they say. I just get the feeling that the pretense of these statements not being official is unironic, actually meant to be believed, and that bugs me.
