Speaking American as a second language ......

Do you recall what prompted Fleischer to make this comment? He was not talking about “comedian” Bill Maher’s disgusting assertion that it was wrong to call the 9/11 hijackers cowards, because they were gutsy enough to get on airplanes with box cutters and die in their assault on America, whereas our political and military establishment was cravenly lobbing cruise missiles at its enemies. That was brought up later in the interview with Fleischer, and he said that if press reports of Maher’s comments were accurate, it was “a terrible thing to say.”
