re: #287 capitalist piglet

Pure speculation, but I wonder if he heard about the tape and the mulling of the decision whether to release it, and felt he’d better get in there and diffuse the situation with a bit of Ocharm.

Imagine - he comes out in favor of Gates and critical of the police, then the “eff your momma” tape comes out…how does Obama look?

What would happen to ME if I talked to a cop like that?

Gates has already said that the “your momma” line was a product of Crowley’s imagination, and likely the result of Crowley watching the TV show Good Times when he was a child.
